The more that story is, the more miserable insects are

A new study has shown that the more interrelated the Plodia interpunctella immune system is, the more damaged it is.

This study was published in Biology Letters in the journal Biology Letters by behavioral biologist Dr. Kathryn McNamara of the University of Western Australia.

'The process of mating and maintaining the immune system are two extremely' expensive 'processes for insects , ' said Dr. McNamara.

Plodia self-made interpunctella "harms" its immune system with sex.

The researchers carried Plodia interpunctella into the three different habitats: the environment with many males, many females and the environment with equal numbers of males and females. After testing the immune system of both males and females in these habitats, they found that males in many female environments had a weaker immune system than males in other groups.

Instead of having to spend the energy to scramble for their children, the children of Plodia interpunctella live in the environment of many children who only have the energy to mate with many children living around them.

This finding once again confirms the relationship between the immune system of animals and the strength they spend in mating. The more energy a male spends on sperm production or regular mating, the worse his immune system is.
