Idiosyncratic effects of bacterial infection on female fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster
Existing theories make different predictions regarding the effect of a pathogenic infection on the host capacity to reproduce. Terminal investment theory suggests that due to the increased risk of mortality, and the associated risk of losing future opportunity to reproduce, infected individuals woul...
