• Increase in the constitutive innate humoral immune system in Leach's Storm‐Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa) chicks is negatively correlated with growth rate (2005, background): “Merino, Moller & de Lope 2000; Dubiec & Cichon 2001; Hoi-Leitner et al . 2001; Westneat et al . 2004).”
• Detection of serum immunoglobulins in wild birds by direct ELISA: a methodological study to validate the technique in different species using antichicken antibodies (2003, background): “The main focus, rooted in life-history theory, assumes fitness costs of immune defence against parasites and trade-offs in the face of limited resources (e.g. Deerenberg et al. 1997; Nordling et al. 1998; Moreno, Sanz & Arriero 1999; Merino, Møller & de Lope 2000; Soler et al. 2002).”
• Predation risk, host immune response, and parasitism (2004, background): “…including the house sparrow (González et al., 1998; H~orak et al., 2001), and T-cell response correlates positively with probability of survival in birds, including house sparrows (Christe et al., 1998, 2000; González et al., 1998; H~orak et al., 1999; Merino et al., 2000; Soler et al., 1999).”
• Dynamics of an immune response in house sparrows Passer domesticus in relation to time of day, body condition and blood parasite infection (2003, background): “The PHA response reflects the ability of individual birds to survive under field conditions (Christe et al. 1998, 2001, Birkhead et al. 1999, González et al. 1999, Horak et al. 1999, Soler et al. 1999, Merino et al. 2000).”
