The paper shows that ancestral larval development rate predicts long-term population success after evolutionary rescue in flour beetles, despite parallel rescue dynamics across populations.

The paper investigates how dietary resources affect developmental shifts and infection tolerance in flour beetles coinfected with gregarine and bacterial parasites, finding that resources modulate developmental timing but not resistance to bacterial infection.

This study shows that mitochondrial DNA variation influences innate immune responses and infection outcomes in Drosophila by affecting gene expression and immune cell function.

This study quantifies the trade-off between immune investment and host fitness by manipulating cactus knock-down in flour beetles, revealing dose-dependent benefits and costs to infection resistance and other fitness traits.

This study quantifies immune priming responses in red flour beetles across life stages and populations, finding variable protection and sex-specific associations.
