From individuals to ecosystems: carrion beetle responses to heatwaves impact nutrient cycling

Isobel Grieve, Arthur A. D. Broadbent, Sheena C. Cotter, Ainoa Pravia, Natalie Pilakouta

This study shows that heatwaves reduce carrion beetle impacts on nutrient cycling by altering their behavior and reproduction, highlighting indirect effects on ecosystem processes.

Nutribloods: novel synthetic lepidopteran haemolymphs for understanding insect-microbe interactions in vitro

Robert Holdbrook, Joanna L. Randall, Catherine E. Reavey, Yamini Tummala, Awawing Anjwengwo Andongma, Annabel Rice, Judith A. Smith, Stephen James Simpson, Sheena C. Cotter, Kenneth L. Wilson

The paper introduces synthetic haemolymphs (nutribloods) to study how nutrient profiles affect microbial growth in insect-pathogen interactions.

Combining in vivo and in vitro approaches to better understand host-pathogen interactions

Robert Holdbrook, Catherine E. Reavey, Joanna L. Randall, Awawing Anjwengwo Andongma, Yamini Tummala, Annabel Rice, Stephen James Simpson, Judith A. Smith, Sheena C. Cotter, Kenneth L. Wilson

This study combines in vivo and in vitro approaches to show that host nutrition primarily affects bacterial growth in a host-parasite system, rather than host immune responses.
