Elevated reproductive effort increases blood parasitaemia and decreases immune function in birds: a meta-regression approach

Abstract:: In recent years there has been much interest in physiological trade-offs involving host immune function and parasite defence, with the suggestion that they could play a pivotal role in mediating well-documented life-history trade-offs, such as the cost of reproduction. 2. Among studies of birds, the hypothesized link between reproductive effort and parasite defence has received particular attention, yet support for a trade-off between these two traits remains equivocal. 3. We used meta-regres...
