Larvae and adults exhibit contrasting patterns of immune gene expression and infection resistance in wild flour beetle populations

2021-02-25

Abstract excerpt

In nature, hosts face shifting patterns of parasite exposure and life history trade-offs as they develop from birth to old age. As a result, the net fitness benefit of immunological investment can change dramatically from one life stage to the next. Previous work has revealed a puzzling diversity of relative immune investment patterns among juvenile and adult stages, and it is not clear whether lessons learned fro...
