Statistics were generated using proportional hazards models and risk ratios adjusted using a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (α = 0.0167). 1TGIP = Transgenerational Immune Priming, 2Gra
Paternal trans-generational immune priming, whereby fathers provide immune protection to offspring, has been demonstrated in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum exposed to the insect pathogen Bac
Many taxa exhibit plastic immune responses initiated after primary microbial exposure that provide increased protection against disease-induced mortality and the fitness costs of infection. In several
