Decreased immune response as a proximate cost of copulation and oviposition in a damselfly
Abstract
Abstract.Males and females of the Japanese calopterygid damselfly, Matrona basilaris japonica Fester, showed a rapid (within 24 h), and significant reduction in immune system function (encapsulation response) after reproductive activity (copulation or oviposition). A similar, but non‐significant, change occurred in males that conducted energetically costly behaviour (fighting). These data suggest that there may be physiological costs other than energy‐based trade‐offs associated with copulation and oviposition that may have life‐history consequences via their effects on immune system function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
