Natural host‐plant quality affects immune defence of an insect herbivore (2007, background): “The strength of the insect immune defence is at least in part genetically determined and it is also affected by many other factors, such as food quantity and quality, population density, and sex (Kraaijeveld et al., 2002; Zuk & Stoehr, 2002; Schmid-Hempel, 2003, 2005).”
Immune pathways and defence mechanisms in honey bees Apis mellifera (2006, background): “Other defences enabled by sociality include the construction of nests from antimicrobial materials (Christe et al ., 2003) , the raising of offspring in sterile nurseries (Burgett, 1997) , social 'fever' in response to disease (Starks et al ., 2000) , transference of immune traits (Traniello et al .”
Quo vadis Aethina tumida? Biology and control of small hive beetles (2016, background): “The compromise of colony defence is analogous to down-regulation of immune functions in individual insects (Schmid-Hempel 2005) and might be triggered by a whole range of factors such as queenstate, infections with other pathogens, season (colony migration, Hepburn and Radloff 1998), colony…”
Fitness consequences of immune responses: strengthening the empirical framework for ecoimmunology (2011, background): “other anatomical location), and route of entry of parasites (Schmid-Hempel 2005; Weaver & Murphy 2007).”
Diet effects on honeybee immunocompetence (2010, background): “INTRODUCTION The maintenance of the immune system is one of the most costly physiological systems in animals (Lochmiller & Deerenberg 2000; Schmid-Hempel 2005) and deficient nutrition can impair immune function and increase the susceptibility of individuals to disease.”
Ecology, Behavior and Evolution of Disease Resistance in Termites (2010, background): “( Schmid-Hempel 2005 ). The significance of these processes in insect immunity has received relatively little attention given that their combined action may clear more than 99.5% of microbes within the first few hours of an infection (Haine et al. 2008a).”
Insect immune priming: ecology and experimental evidences (2016, background): “Evolutionary biologists have revealed that the immune response could vary between organisms and species as a result of evolutionary costs (negative impacts on fitness), which may limit immune response performance (Rolff & Siva-Jothy, 2003; Schmid-Hempel, 2003, 2005a).”
Temperature extremes and butterfly fitness: conflicting evidence from life history and immune function (2011, background): “…the last years knowledge on the important contribution of immune defence to individual fitness has expanded considerably (Rolff & Siva-Jothy, 2002; Schmid-Hempel, 2003, 2005; Stoehr, 2007), and responses to stressors may be different for traits such as body size and immune function (Rolff et al.,…”
Factors affecting parasite prevalence among wild bumblebees (2010, background): “This difference has been explained by life-history differences in the sexes, where males compete heavily for mating opportunities, possibly at the expense of their own immune function (McKean & Nunney, 2001; Schmid-Hempel, 2005).”
