Sexual signaling and immune function in the black field cricket Teleogryllus commodus. [PDF]
The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis predicts that male sexual trait expression should be positively correlated with immunocompetence. Here we investigate if immune function in the cricket, Teleogryllus commodus, is related to specific individual ...
