The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response

Adam Z. Hasik, Maggie Blondeau, Jacob Harvey, Tania Groleau, Tonia DeBellis, Eric J. Pedersen, Alex Córdoba‐Aguilar, Katie Elizabeth Marshall, Laura Ferguson, Jean‐Philippe Lessard

This study investigates the factors shaping immune response variation in odonates across two biomes, finding that climate, particularly precipitation, has the strongest influence.
