Induced systemic resistance by beneficial microbes. (2014, background): “By studying the costs and benefits of priming, it was shown that the fitness costs of priming are lower than those of constitutively activated defenses (156, 172, 174).”
Disease ecology meets ecological immunology: understanding the links between organismal immunity and infection dynamics in natural populations (2011, background): “The evolutionary costs of immune deployment in the absence of infection have been particularly well documented in plants (e.g.Walters et al. 2009) and insects (e.g.McKean et al. 2009”
