Invertebrate ecological immunology.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 25 Jul 2003

Rolff J, Siva-Jothy M T

Abstract excerpt

Ecological immunology is a rapidly expanding field that examines the causes and consequences of variation in immune function in the context of evolution and of ecology. Millions of invertebrate species rely solely on innate immunity, compared with only 45,000 vertebrate species that rely additionally on an acquired immune system. Despite this difference in diversity, most studies of ecological immunology focus on...
