Challenges in modelling complexity of fungal entomopathogens in semi-natural populations of insects (2009, background): “(2 0 0 1 ) S h ah an d P el l (2 0 0 3 ) P el l (2 0 0 7 ) 123 58 Reprinted from the journal between speed of kill and temperature although overall mortality may not be affected (Ekesi et al. 1999; Thomas and Blanford 2003).”
Temperature affects coral disease resistance and pathogen growth (2007, background): “The abiotic environment can affect either or both sides of this balance, shifting the interaction in favor of the pathogen or host (Blanford et al. 2003, Thomas & Blanford 2003).”
Thermal biology of mosquito-borne disease (2019, background): “The potential for vectors and pathogens to adapt, via plasticity or evolution, to warming climates is an important empirical and theoretical gap (Table 1) (Thomas & Blanford 2003; Kearney et al. 2009; Sternberg & Thomas 2014).”
Impact of daily temperature fluctuations on dengue virus transmission by Aedes aegypti (2011, result): “Like several earlier studies (10, 12, 42), our research highlights the need for a better mechanistic understanding of the environmental determinants of vector– pathogen interactions.”
Temperature-dependent phenology and predation in arthropod systems (2006, background): “These kinds of effects are particularly critical for interaction of insect pests and their predators (Morales-Ramos et al., 1996; Xia et al., 1999a,b; Rochat and Gutierrez, 2001; Drechsler and Settele, 2001; Thomas and Blanford, 2003; Xia et al., 2003; Bianchi and van der Werf, 2004).”
Effects of climate warming on host–parasitoid interactions (2013, background): “…of exposure to elevated temperatures in insects is the loss of bacterial endosymbionts such as Wolbachia and Buchnera; this can occur following heat stress, even where the heat stress has limited direct effects on the host (Thomas & Blanford, 2003; Bensadia et al ., 2006; Guay et al ., 2009).”
Some (worms) like it hot: fish parasites grow faster in warmer water, and alter host thermal preferences (2012, background): “…use ectotherms as hosts experience changes in environments unbuffered by host thermoregulatory responses (Marcogliese, 2008; Blanar et al., 2009), so their biology is expected to be most immediately and severely affected by changing thermal regimes (Thomas & Blan- ford, 2003; Deutsch et al., 2008).”
Density-dependent prophylaxis and condition-dependent immune function in Lepidopteran larvae: a multivariate approach (2004, background): “…it is unclear whether melanization of the cuticle is a by-product of this up-regulation of PO activity or if it has other adaptive benefits such as thermoregulation, which could also play a role in combating parasites (Blanford, Thomas & Langewald 1998; Wilson et al. 2002; Thomas & Blanford 2003).”
Effects of Climate Change on Invasive Species (2021, background): “Many studies have highlighted the importance of environmental temperature in mediating the outcome of host–pathogen and host– parasite interactions (Thomas and Blanford 2003) and are relevant to managing invasive species under a changing climate.”
Behavioural responses to human‐induced environmental change (2011, background): “Similarly, the effect of temperature changes on host-parasite interactions varies widely depending on genotype-by-genotype-by-environment interactions (Thomas & Blanford, 2003).”
