Resources Modulate Developmental Shifts but Not Infection Tolerance Upon Co‐Infection in an Insect System

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energetic resources within organisms fuel both parasite growth and immune responses against them, but it is unclear whether energy allocation is sufficient to explain changes in infection outcomes under the threat of multiple parasites. We manipulated diet in flour beetles (Tribolium confusum) infected with two natural parasites and used a ...
