Abstract The tight connection between immunity and reproduction has been studied for decades. However, basic knowledge at the molecular level of the effect of mating on immune function is still lacking in many taxa. Determining whether and how the immune system is engaged after mating is a crucial step in understanding post‐mating mechanisms of reproduction and sexual selection. Here we study the transcriptional changes in immunity‐related genes caused by the ejaculate in the female reproductive...
