  1. Elevated fluctuating temperature and humidity increases pre-adult development rate in A. stephensi.

  1. Elevated fluctuating temperature and humidity has no effect on lifespan in A. stephensi.

    “We show that realistic elevated temperature and humidity fluctuations prime basal immune responses and accelerate pre-adult development without reducing adult lifespan.”
