Titel Editorial: Diet, nutrition and insect responses to environmental change Mate van erkenning International Media naam/outlet Health Reporter Mediatype Web Land/Regio Australia Release datum 15/06/2024 Beschrijving An individual’s nutrient intake affects its growth (1), immunity, reproductive success and survival (2). Nutrition influences behaviours including mate choice (3) and migration (4), and interactions between species across trophic levels (5). In sum, nutrition shapes almost all aspects of ecology, from individuals to ecosystems. Understanding a species’ nutritional ecology and physiology therefore helps us understand its broader biology. However, building this understanding is complicated because environmental changes associated with human activity such as climate change or pollution can disrupt species’ nutrition (6) (Figure 1). In turn, this can affect the health of individuals, populations and ecosystems. Here, we summarise some routes through which human-driven environmental change can affect species’ nutrition, possible consequences of these effects, and how the manuscripts in this research theme fit within this wider framework.
