The roles of the immune system in Women's reproduction: Evolutionary constraints and life history trade‐offs

1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

Life history theory posits that, as long as survival is assured, finite resources are available for reproduction, maintenance, and growth/storage. To maximize lifetime reproductive success, resources are subject to trade-offs both within individuals and between current and future investment. For women, reproducing is costly and time-consuming; the bulk of available resources must be allocated to reproduction at...
