• Relating endocrinology, physiology and behaviour using species with alternative mating strategies (2007, background): “…elevated testosterone and components of immune function (e.g. cell-mediated, humoral or leukocyte counts) has mixed empirical support (Casto, Nolan & Ketterson 2001; Roberts et al. 2004; Buchanan et al. 2003; Owen-Ashley, Hasselquist & Wingfield 2004; Deviche & Cortez 2005; Greives et al. 2006).”
• Dietary amino acids influence plumage traits and immune responses of male house sparrows, Passer domesticus, but not as expected (2005, background): “Social interactions could also have directly affected moult, perhaps by altering hormone profiles (Evans et al. 2000; Buchanan et al. 2003) or otherwise affecting the stimulation of melanocytes in feather follicles.”
• The antioxidant function of many animal pigments: are there consistent health benefits of sexually selected colourants? (2005, background): “2002), incidence of parasitism (McGraw & Hill 2000; Fitze & Richner 2002), levels of hormones (Evans et al. 2000; Korzan et al. 2000; Buchanan et al. 2003), or social interactions (McGraw et al.”
• Ultraviolet signals ultra-aggression in a lizard (2006, background): “In addition, circulating steroid hormones such as testosterone play a role in both the expression of condition-dependent traits used in male contests and in regulating aggressive behaviour (Cooper et al. 1987; Tokarz 1995; Buchanan et al. 2001, 2003; Hagelin 2002; Watt et al. 2003).”
• Effect of testosterone on immunocompetence, parasite load, and metabolism in the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) (2004, background): “, 1758)), manipulation of testosterone did not produce a cell-mediated response, but testosterone had significant effects upon the humoral response (Buchanan et al. 2003).”
