Sex, age, and parental harmonic convergence behavior affect the immune performance of Aedes aegypti offspring
Reitmayer, Murdock, and colleagues examine the relationship between mating strategy and immune response in a human disease vector: the yellow fever mosquito. Their findings indicate that harmonic convergence is predictive of offspring immune responses, and to a stronger degree in males than females.
