Immune responses of bumblebee workers as a function of individual and colony age: senescence versus plastic adjustment of the immune function (2009, background): “It is now apparent that the activity and efficacy of the immune system changes during an animal’s life and typically shows a decline with age, especially after reproduction in both vertebrates (Haussmann et al. 2005, Lavoie et al 2007) and invertebrates (Adamo et al. 2001, Rolff 2001, Doums et al.”
The effects of environmental warming on Odonata: a review (2008, background): “The effects of climate on invertebrate immunology has received relatively little attention, despite odonates having been studied extensively in the field and in the lab (Rantala et al. 2000; Robb & Forbes 2005, 2006; Rolff 2001; Siva-Jothy 1999, 2000; Yourth et al. 2002).”
An analysis of trade‐offs in immune function, body size and development time in the Mediterranean Field Cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus (2005, background): “Consistent with these studies, many other studies on sex differences in arthropod immunity also show lower male immune defence (e.g. Rheins & Karp 1985; Nigam et al. 1997; Radhika et al. 1998; Wedekind & Jacobsen 1998; Kurtz et al. 2000; Kurtz & Sauer 2001; Rolff 2001; Siva-Jothy et al. 2001).”
