Intersection between parental investment, transgenerational immunity, and termite sociality in the face of disease: a theoretical approach
BD Roitberg, RB Rosengaus - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2022 - Springer
We developed a novel, resource-driven theory for transgenerational immune priming (TGIP).
From this theory, two models were constructed, one termite-specific and the second one …
