Galleria mellonella (greater wax moth) larvae are used widely as surrogate infectious
disease models, due to ease of use and the presence of an innate immune system …

Invertebrates are the protagonists of a recent paradigm shift because they now show that
vertebrates are not the only group with immune memory. This review discusses the concept …

INTRODUCTION One fundamental property of the immune system is its ability to develop
memory of previous encounters, resulting in enhanced responsiveness to subsequent …

Transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) allows memory-like immune responses to be
transmitted from parents to offspring in many invertebrates. Despite increasing evidence for …

Pollination services to increase crop production are becoming more and more important, as
we are facing both climate change and a growing world population. Both are predicted to …

Paternal pre-conceptual environmental experiences, such as stress and diet, can affect
offspring brain and behavioral phenotypes via epigenetic modifications in sperm …

Parents invest in their offspring by preparing them for defense against pathogens and
parasites that only the parents have encountered, a phenomenon known as …

Recent evidence suggests that stressed plants employ epigenetic mechanisms to transmit
acquired resistance traits to their progeny. However, the evolutionary and ecological …

Parental infection can result in the production of offspring with enhanced immunity
phenotypes. Critically, the mechanisms underlying inherited immunity are poorly …

The occurrence of transgenerational innate immune memory in invertebrates possibly offers
an opportunity for the creation of offspring with increased resistance against infectious …
