Physical Cues Controlling Seasonal Immune Allocation in a Natural Piscine Model

Physical Cues Controlling Seasonal Immune Allocation in a Natural Piscine Model

Seasonal patterns in immunity are frequently observed in vertebrates but are poorly understood. Here, we focused on a natural piscine model, the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), and asked how seasonal immune allocation is driven by physical variables (time, light, and heat). Using...
