Sex-specific immunocompetence: resistance and tolerance can both be futile but not under the same circumstances

Franziska A. Brenninger, Viktor Kovalov, Hanna Kokko

The paper models optimal immunity investment under varying parasite pressure and sexual selection, showing resistance futility at high parasite abundance and tolerance futility at high virulence, but joint resistance-tolerance traits remain profitable.
