Pathogen and immune dynamics during maturation are explained by Bateman's Principle

2017-08-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Bateman's principle, stating that female fitness is maximised by increasing longevity, suggests females are likely to exhibit a stronger immune response than males. Applying these ideas to maturation, it is predicted that immature beetles will also show enhanced immunity. This study looks at how life‐history strategies interplay with infection responses in a well‐established immunological model, the burying bee...
