Sexual dimorphism in susceptibility to parasites and cell-mediated immunity in great tit nestlings (2003, background): “Differential exposure of the two sexes (Reimchen 2001) may not explain the observed sex differences in parasite susceptibility, because fleas are nest-based parasites, and equal exposure of male and female nestlings can be expected.”
Host condition and host immunity affect parasite fitness in a bird–ectoparasite system (2007, background): “In some host-parasite systems this distribution pattern might result from differences in host behaviour, and thus from variation in the chance of encountering a certain type of parasite (Reimchen 2001).”
The Ecology of Individuals: Incidence and Implications of Individual Specialization (2002, background): “We also omitted cases of within-colony niche variation in eusocial insects (Heinrich 1976; Rissing 1981; Johnson 1986; Wells and Wells 1986; 4 5 Heliaula rufa (rufous grasshopper) 1 yr I O Gut contents correlated with isotope ratios; isotope ratios exceptionally variable (range p 9.8, SD p 4.27)…”
Ecological opportunity and levels of morphological variance within freshwater stickleback populations (2005, background): “Previous work on sticklebacks has revealed evidence of niche partitioning between the sexes in terms of habitat, diet and parasite load (Reimchen, 1980; Reimchen & Nosil, 2001a ); ecological correlates of sexual dimorphism are common in nature (Selander, 1966; Slatkin, 1984; Shine, 1989; for review”
Sexual dimorphism in immunocompetence: what does life-history theory predict? (2006, background): “For example, differences in behavior may affect exposure to parasites (e.g., Tinsley 1989; Zuk and Kolluru 1998; Reimchen and Nosil 2001), and similar infections may have sex-specific effects on condition (e.g., Blanco et al. 2001; Tseng 2003).”
