[HTML][HTML] Immune response from a resource allocation perspective
WM Rauw - Frontiers in genetics, 2012 - frontiersin.org
The immune system is a life history trait that can be expected to trade off against other life
history traits. Whether or not a trait is considered to be a life history trait has consequences …

Oxidative stress as a cost of reproduction: Beyond the simplistic trade‐off model
JR Speakman, M Garratt - BioEssays, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The idea that oxidative stress may underpin life history trade‐offs has become extremely
popular. However, experimental support for the concept has proved equivocal. It has …

The free‐radical damage theory: accumulating evidence against a simple link of oxidative stress to ageing and lifespan
JR Speakman, C Selman - Bioessays, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Recent work on a small European cave salamander (Proteus anguinus) has revealed that it
has exceptional longevity, yet it appears to have unexceptional defences against oxidative …

Is female health cyclical? Evolutionary perspectives on menstruation
A Alvergne, VH Tabor - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2018 - cell.com
Why do some females menstruate at all? Answering this question has implications for
understanding the tight links between reproductive function and organismal immunity. Here …

Are all eggs created equal? Food availability and the fitness trade‐off between reproduction and immunity
ZR Stahlschmidt, N Rollinson, M Acker… - Functional …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Reproduction and immune function are critical processes, but organisms can rarely optimize
both traits. Resultant reproduction–immunity trade‐offs may be 'facultative', occurring only …

Life history trade-offs within the context of mitochondrial hormesis
Evolutionary biologists have been interested in the negative interactions among life history
traits for nearly a century, but the mechanisms that would create this negative interaction …

Oxidative stress in response to natural and experimentally elevated reproductive effort is tissue dependent
Oxidative stress is a potential proximal physiological cost of reproduction. Detecting this cost
may be performed in several different ways–manipulating reproductive status, correlating …

Availability of mates and food influence the plasticity in strategies mediating life‐history tradeoffs in an insect
ZR Stahlschmidt, D Bui, J Chen, W Zhao - Oikos, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Different life‐history strategies can be employed to navigate the tradeoff between investment
into reproductive and somatic tissues, and plasticity in life‐history strategies may be one of …

[HTML][HTML] Characterization of trade-offs between immunity and reproduction in the coral species Astrangia poculata
Background Living organisms face ubiquitous pathogenic threats and have consequently
evolved immune systems to protect against potential invaders. However, many components …

[HTML][HTML] No evidence for trans-generational immune priming in Drosophila melanogaster
R Radhika, BP Lazzaro - PLoS One, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Most organisms are under constant and repeated exposure to pathogens, leading to
perpetual natural selection for more effective ways to fight-off infections. This could include …
