Stage-specific sex differences in Drosophila immunity to parasites and pathogens
Arguments from life-history theory predict that other things being equal females are likely to invest more in defence against parasites and pathogens than males. This is either because males and females differ in behaviour or, more importantly, because the variance in mating success is typically hig...
