Immune function of a female mimic.

A project I'm in the process of wrapping up is a nice little study I did with Dov Lank and George Lozano on immune function of ruffs. They are particularly cool for their three male morphs that each employ different mating tactics in a lek setting. The ruff people just published the genetics of this supercool system in Nature Genetics here.
