Despite classical expectations of a trade-off between immune activity and reproduction, an
emergent view suggests that individuals experiencing activation of their immune system …

Oxidative stress (OS) experienced early in life can affect an individual's phenotype.
However, its consequences for the next generation remain largely unexplored. We …

The reproductive costs associated with the upregulation of immunity have been well-
documented and constitute a fundamental trade-off between reproduction and self …

Sheep red blood cells (SRBC) are commonly employed by scientists to address humoral
immune responses in poultry. While SRBC are closely related to the study of humoral …

Sex‐biased resource allocation in avian eggs has gained increasing interest. The adaptive
explanations of such allocation are often related to life‐history strategies of the studied …

Variation in parental age can have important consequences for offspring fitness and the
structure of populations and disease transmission. However, our understanding of the …

Predation risk is an environmental stressor that can induce changes in prey behavior and
physiology. Perception of predation risk may indirectly affect offspring traits and future fitness …

Parasites play key ecological and evolutionary roles through the costs they impose on their
host. In wild populations, the effect of parasitism is likely to vary considerably with …

Introduction The transfer of antibodies from mother to offspring is key to protecting young
animals from disease and can have a major impact on responses to infection and offspring …
