Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) adjusts offspring's immune responses based on parental immunological experiences. It is predicted to be adaptive when parent–offspring environmental conditions match, while mismatches negate those advantages, rendering TGIP potentially costly.
