In this Review, we explain how these immunological differences between the sexes reflect hormonal, genetic and environmental effects on the immune system that can change throughout life in ...
Climate change-induced extinctions are estimated to eliminate one in six known species by the end of the century. One major factor that will contribute to these extinctions is extreme climatic events. Here, we show the ecological impacts of recent record
