TL;DR: It is shown that a phenological mismatch induced by the delay in the emergence of gypsy moth larvae and following feeding on mature leaves has negative effects on the female pupal weight, on the rate of larval development and on the activity of phenoloxidase in the plasma of haemolymph.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the Zausaev lineage is the most widely distributed among the TBEV-Sib lineages, and was detected in all studied regions except the Far East, while the Obskaya lineage was found only in Western Siberia.

TL;DR: Several immune characteristics of insects that function as barriers against different groups of parasites are differently affected by plant induced defenses, which underscores the importance of considering multiple factors when characterizing barriers to insect immunity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that lipophilic flavonoids are important compounds in the direct silver birch defense against L. dispar caterpillars, an adaptation of the herbivores to resist the rising density of parasites when host population density is high.

TL;DR: The study demonstrates the significant effect of phenological asynchrony on innate immunity‐mediated interactions between herbivores and entomopathogenic bacteria and highlights the role of nonpathogenic gut bacteria in these interactions.
