Sex, age, and parental harmonic convergence behavior affect the immune performance of Aedes aegypti offspring

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.
