Seasonal trade-offs in cell-mediated immunosenescence in ruffs (Philomachus pugnax).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jun 2003

Lozano George A, Lank David B

Abstract excerpt

The immune system is an energetically expensive self-maintenance complex that, given the risks of parasitism, cannot be carelessly compromised. Life-history theory posits that trade-offs between fitness components, such as self-maintenance and reproduction, vary between genders and age classes de...
