HIGHLIGHTS
- who: H. Pieter J. van Veelen from the POBox, CC Leeuwarden, The Netherlands have published the research: The microbial environment modulates non-genetic maternal effects on egg immunity, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors experimentally created two levels of environmental bacterial diversity and investigated their effects on maternal immune investment. Based on the role of the microbial environment reported here, the authors propose that pressure posed by environmental microbial communities may reframe priorities for maternal investment tradeoffs when transfer of immunity becomes more important for offspring fitness. The authors propose that when microbial pressure . . .
