Prenatal and postnatal parental effects on immunity and growth in ‘lactating’ pigeons

2012-05-09

Abstract excerpt

Summary 1. Parental effects can have profound consequences on offspring phenotype. Still, little is known about the relative influence of prenatal versus postnatal parental effects of parasite exposure of parents on offspring traits. 2. In this study, we investigated the respective role of a prenatal and a postnatal immune challenge of parent feral pigeons ( Columba livia ) on offspring humoral immunity, growth an...
