Multivariate immune defences and fitness in the wild: complex but ecologically important associations among plasma antibodies, health and survival

Despite our rapidly advancing mechanistic understanding of vertebrate immunity under controlled laboratory conditions, the links between immunity, infection and fitness under natural conditions remain poorly understood. Antibodies are central to acquired immune responses, and antibody levels circula...
