As such, larval abundance of B. vinosa was strongly ["Immune ability and immune expression have been correlated with chemical and physical parameters at viewed as life-history traits that are influenced by such both site and stream scales, but only covaried with the factors as the likelihood of being parasitized, intensity abundance of other organisms at the site scale. Larval and costs of parasitism, and trade-offs associated with abundance did not correlate with the abundance of immune expression.

Of the three species showing immune expression, the species with the highest prevalence and intensity of infestation had a significantly higher proportion of individuals responding immunologically to mites. In conclusion, current infestation levels only partially predict immune investment; consideration of the timing of emergence of different species suggests that season may be an important predictor of immune investment."
