• Stress Indicators in Fish (2016, background): “…profiles are predictive of future performance and viability, such as susceptibility to infection (Al-Murrani et al., 2002), growth rates (Moreno et al., 2002), and survival (Lobato et al., 2005; Kilgas et al., 2006) Blood smears are relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain from…”
• Evidence for the signaling function of egg color in the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca (2005, background): “The main ectoparasites of pied flycatcher nestlings in our study population are the mite Dermanyssus gallinoides and larvae of the parasitic fly Protocalliphora azurae (Moreno et al., 2002).”
• Haematological variables are good predictors of recruitment in nestling pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) (2005, background): “Furthermore, the mean adult female H/L ratio was significantly lower than that of nestlings (Moreno et al., 2002b).”
• Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “In wild birds, an increased level of stress indicators has been found in relation to both strenuous work (nestling feeding, nestling growth; Moreno et al. 2002; Merino et al. 2006; but see Saino et al. 2002) and disease (Merino et al.”
• The use of leukocyte profiles to measure stress in vertebrates: a review for ecologists (2008, background): “High H : L ratios have been associated in birds with susceptibility to infection (Al- Murrani et al. 2002), slow growth rates (Moreno et al. 2002) and survival to the next breeding season (Lobato et al. 2005; Kilgas, Tilgar & Mand 2006).”
