Genetic and phenotypically flexible components of seasonal variation in immune function.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 May 2014

Versteegh M A, Helm B, Kleynhans E J, Gwinner E, Tieleman B I

Abstract excerpt

Animals cope with seasonal variation in environmental factors by adjustments of physiology and life history. When seasonal variation is partly predictable, such adjustments can be based on a genetic component or be phenotypically flexible. Animals have to allocate limited resources over different demands, including immune function. Accordingly, immune traits could change seasonally, and such changes could have a...
