Latitudinal gradient in insect immunity

Among-population differences of two parameters reflecting constitutive immunity – phenoloxidase (PO) and lytic activity – using common garden design on three distantly related moth species represented by populations ranging from northern Finland to Georgia (Caucasus). <br>

以种群分布范围覆盖芬兰北部至格鲁吉亚（高加索地区）的三种亲缘关系较远的蛾类为研究对象，采用同质园（common garden）实验设计，分析其种群间反映组成型免疫的两项参数——酚氧化酶（phenoloxidase, PO）与溶菌活性的差异。
