Parent-specific transgenerational immune priming

Trans-generational immune priming adjusts offsprings immune responses based on parental immunological experiences. It is predicted to be adaptive when parent-offspring environmental conditions match, while mismatches negate those advantages, rendering TGIP potentially costly. We tested these cost-benefit dynamics in the pipefish Syngnathus typhle

跨代免疫启动（Trans-generational immune priming）是指亲代基于自身的免疫经历调控后代的免疫应答。该机制被预测在亲代与子代的环境条件相匹配时具备适应性优势，而当环境条件不匹配时，这类优势将被抵消，使得跨代免疫启动潜在存在代价。本研究以斑节海龙（Syngnathus typhle）为实验对象，检验了这一成本-收益动态关系。
