Condition-Dependent Trade-Off Between Weapon Size and Immunity in Males of the European Earwig
Abstract Investigating the expression of trade-offs between key life-history functions is central to our understanding of how these functions evolved and are maintained. However, detecting trade-offs can be challenging due to variation in resource availability, which masks trade-offs at the populati...
