Ecological and life-history factors influencing the evolution of maternal antibody allocation: a phylogenetic comparison

26 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

Maternally derived yolk antibodies provide neonates with immune protection in early life at negligible cost to mothers. However, developmental effects on the neonate's future immunity are potentially costly and thus could limit yolk antibody deposition. The benefits to neonatal immunity must be balanced against costs, which may depend on neonate vulnerability to pathogens, developmental trajectories and the...
