Stabilising selection on immune response in male black grouse Lyrurus tetrix.

Oecologia - 1 Feb 2018

Soulsbury Carl D, Siitari Heli, Lebigre Christophe

Abstract excerpt

Illnesses caused by a variety of micro- and macro- organisms can negatively affect individuals' fitness, leading to the expectation that immunity is under positive selection. However, immune responses are costly and individuals must trade-off their immune response with other fitness components (e.g. survival or reproductive success) meaning that individuals with intermediate response may have the greatest overall...
