Grant Activity:
The immune response as a determinant of female reproductive investment
Purpose:
Aims: This project will define how ‘cryptic female choice’ affects reproductive outcomes through immune recognition of embryo histocompatibility genes, to modulate maternal nutrient provision and fetal growth.
Significance: The research will tackle an important knowledge gap in animal reproduction science, where poorly-understood male-female compatibility effects cause variation in breeding efficiency with major economic and environmental impact.
Expected outcomes: We expect to generate new understanding of the genes, immune response elements, and vascular changes that explain compatibility effects.
Benefits: The results will inform strategies to improve fertility in livestock animals, and in rare and threatened species.
