Sample size: Medium
Data quality: Acceptable
Observations: One study on greater sac-winged bats reported that individuals with higher white blood cell counts and immunoglobulin concentrations had decreased changes of survival, indicating that there may be a trade-off between immunological defences and other costly life-history traits in these animals [1199].
