Abstract

The transfer of immunity from mother to offspring is widespread in animals. The father's contribution to this is usually negligible. However, in a sex-role reversed pipefish where fathers do the mothering, fathers make an important immune priming contribution, too.

摘要

从母亲到后代的免疫转移在动物中很普遍。父亲对此的贡献通常可以忽略不计。然而，在一种性别角色颠倒的海龙中，父亲承担了母亲的角色，他们也做出了重要的免疫初步贡献。
