Elevated maternal temperature enhances offspring disease resistance in Daphnia magna

2014-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Maternal effects are increasingly recognized to impact upon infectious diseases. Stressful environmental conditions that coincide with high infection prevalence are potential cues for adaptive maternal effects on offspring resistance to infection. We studied how maternal temperature (15 °C, 20 °C and 25 °C), as well as maternal food availability (high and low food) influenced the ability of the crustacean, Daphnia...
