摘要:

Female minnowsPhoxinus phoxinushave eight times as many club cells as males in their dorsal skin during the breeding season. The distribution of these cells is androgen sensitive and they may have an antipathogenic function. Since androgens also stimulate development of secondary sexual characters and depresses the immune system the putative role of nuptial coloration as a signal about immune function is discussed.
