Hemocyte Density Increases with Developmental Stage in an Immune-Challenged Forest Caterpillar

The cellular arm of the insect immune response is mediated by the activity of hemocytes. While hemocytes have been well-characterized morphologically and functionally in model insects, few studies have characterized the hemocytes of non-model insects. Further, the role of ontogeny in mediating immun...
