This research investigates how early life disease exposure affects immunity and growth in avian brood parasites, specifically Honeyguides. It aims to explore the evolutionary adaptations of these parasites in response to varying disease pressures.
All animals are exposed to disease and infection, with the immune system providing crucial defences to stop animals becoming sick.
Yet immunological variation is widespread, with the costs of immunity and differences in disease exposure being two potential causes.
This proposal investigates how variation in disease pressure during early life influences immunity and what the consequences are for growth, a key developmental process against which immune investment may be traded-off.
