Investment in immune function is essentially a choice of self-maintenance over growth and reproduction, and as such, it ought to vary predictably with the organism\u2019s ecology and life history. Most species have only 2 main life history strategies, male and female, but some species have one or more alternative morphs, usually male, that have unique morphological, ecological, developmental, behavioural, life-history, and physiological profiles that shift the balance between self-maintenance and other requirements.The ruff (<em>Philomachus pugnax<\/em>), is unique among birds, in that there are 3 types of males; independents, satelittes and female mimics (faeders). In this talk, I shall mostly describe a series of immunoecological studies using the ruff as a model system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>immunoecology &#8211; life history &#8211; alternative morphs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-3655","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2014-09-12T13:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2014-09-12T14:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"TT","cu_event_meeting_room":"4440Q","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"null","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Andrew Simons","cu_event_email":"andrew.simons@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3655\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=3655"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=3655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
