This research investigates the relationship between female polyandry and immune function in fruit flies. By examining genetic variations, the project aims to understand how mating affects immune responses and overall fitness in different species.
The level of polyandry is a key trait influencing population dynamics and inter-sexual interactions of organisms.
In nature, females of some species mate only once in their life time, whereas others mate with multiple males.
My research aims at understanding why there is so many variation in the level of polyandry. I will tackle this question by focusing on female immune function.
Mating can up-/down-regulate immune function, which is likely to inflict fitness costs on females if they mate with…
