Maternal transfer of antibodies: raising immuno-ecology issues.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 May 2008

Boulinier Thierry, Staszewski Vincent

Abstract excerpt

The transfer of antibodies from mother to offspring has broad potential implications in evolutionary ecology, from the adaptive value of maternal effects to the role of transgenerational plasticity in host-parasite interactions. Recent contributions have addressed key issues such as environmental...
