Ecological immunogenetics of life-history traits in a model amphibian.

Biology letters - 23 Jun 2012

Barribeau Seth M, Villinger Jandouwe, Waldman Bruce

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes determine immune repertoires and social preferences of vertebrates. Immunological regulation of microbial assemblages associated with individuals influences their sociality, and should also affect their life-history traits. We exposed Xenopus laevis tadpoles to water conditioned by adult conspecifics. Then, we analysed tadpole growth, development and survivorship as a...
