Female investment in terminal reproduction or somatic maintenance depends on infection dose

2022-07-25

Abstract excerpt

Immune responses are energetically costly to produce and often trade off with investment in reproduction and offspring provisioning. We predicted that hosts can interpret the magnitude of the infection threat from cues like initial bacterial load to adjust reproductive investment into offspring quantity and quality. To test this prediction, we exposed female flour beetles ( Tribolium castaneum ) to naïve or steri...
