Cellular and humoral immunity in a wild mammal: Variation with age & sex and association with overwinter survival
Immune defenses are expected to be crucial for survival under the considerable parasite pressures experienced by wild animals. However, our understanding of the association between immunity and fitness in nature remains limited due to both the complexity of the vertebrate immune system and the often...
