About This Project

With this study, I will look at how brown anole lizards cope with a malaria infection to determine if greater energetic costs associated with immune activation (an "investment") translates into increased ability for an organism to resist infection (a "return on investment").

Studies like this will help us determine which individuals are more likely to spread infections and ultimately better predict how diseases move through communities.
