A melanin-based trait reflects environmental growth conditions of nestling male Eurasian kestrels (2007, methodology): “Cellmediated immune response seems not to be a function trading with the elaboration of this ornament, which was an alternative idea proposed by Fargallo et al. (2002) to explain the reduced cell-immune response of male nestlings with respect to female siblings under food shortage.”
Sexual dimorphism in susceptibility to parasites and cell-mediated immunity in great tit nestlings (2003, background): “1978; McCorkle, Olah & Glick 1980; Cheng & Lamont 1988), and it is used commonly to assess the cell-mediated immune response in birds (e.g. Lochmiller, Vestey & Boren 1993; Brinkhof et al. 1999; Tella et al. 2000; Fargallo et al. 2002).”
Physiological condition and immune function in great tits (Parus major L.): sources of variation and trade-offs in relation to growth (2006, background): “…brood size manipulation on nestling PHA- 25 response has been corroborated in studies of pied flycatchers (Ilmonen et al. 2003), barn swallows (Saino et al. 1997), Eurasian kestrels (Fargallo et al. 2002), zebra finches (Naguib et al. 2004), and blue tits (Cichoń & Dubiec 2005; Dubiec et al. 2006).”
Size-mediated dominance and begging behaviour in Eurasian kestrel broods (2003, methodology): “The thickness of wing webs was measured three times with a sliding calliper (to the nearest 0.05 mm) at the injection site before (24–27 days after hatching) and 24 h after injection, these three measurements being repeatable (Fargallo et al., 2002).”
Comparative immunoecology in birds: hypotheses and tests (2007, background): “This could be a consequence of faster growth and larger nutritional demands during ontogeny leading to a higher degree of developmental stress in the larger sex (Fargallo et al. 2002).”
Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “…birds during the ontogenetic period and the general pattern is that food manipulation affects at least some aspect of immune function (e.g. Lochmiller et al. 1993; Saino et al. 1997; HoiLeitner et al. 2001; Fargallo et al. 2002; de Neve et al. 2007, Bize et al. 2010; but see Ohlsson et al. 2002).”
Maternal yolk testosterone does not modulate parasite susceptibility or immune function in great tit nestlings (2005, unknown): “Lochmiller, Vesley & Boren 1993; Sorci, Soler & Moller 1997; Fargallo et al . 2002; Tschirren, Fitze & Richner 2003).”
