What is Tenebrio Molitor: Immune Function Responds To Selection For Cuticular Colour in about?

This study investigates the relationship between cuticular color and immune function in the mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor), showing that darker beetles exhibit higher immune parameters, such as phenoloxidase activity and haemocyte density, which may enhance their resistance to pathogens. The research utilized an experimental evolution approach, selecting for black and tan cuticular phenotypes over multiple generations to assess correlated immune responses. The findings suggest that selection for cuticul
