The strength of the fecundity-immunity trade-off modulates host evolutionary dynamics, pathogen propagation, and host abundance
2025-02-07
Abstract excerpt
In most species, life history trade-offs generate conflicts between several biological functions because of resource allocation constraints. If under a pathogenic infection, the host can trigger some defense mechanisms against the pathogen, there is usually a fitness cost associated in terms of fecundity reduction. This pattern, known as the fecundity-immunity trade-off, has received much attention, but its implic...
