Leveraging natural variation to study fitness costs and trade-offs in host immunity

During health and infection, hosts allocate energy to growth, maintenance, defense, and reproduction. Current theory in ecological immunology suggests that mounting an energetically-costly defense will lead to trade-offs against host fitness. In this thesis, we used lab-adapted and wild Caenorhabdit...
