- •
We assessed insect herbivore immune response to elevated CO2 and temperature.
- •
Leaf macronutrient composition changed and impacted haemolymph protein content.
- •
In vitro phenoloxidase activity decreased at elevated CO2.
- •
In contrast, melanisation increased independently from nutritional changes.
- •
Elevated temperature did not affect any measured immune parameter.
