No Evidence for a Trade-Off between Reproductive Investment and Immunity in a Rodent
Life history theory assumes there are trade-offs between competing functions such as reproduction and immunity. Although well studied in birds, studies of the trade-offs between reproduction and immunity in small mammals are scarce. Here we examined whether reduced immunity is a consequence of repro...
