Amphibians with infectious disease increase their reproductive effort: evidence for the terminal investment hypothesis
Mounting an immune response to fight disease is costly for an organism and can reduce investment in another life-history trait, such as reproduction. The terminal investment hypothesis predicts that an organism will increase reproductive effort when threatened by disease. The reproductive fitness of...
