Ecology, Behavior and Evolution of Disease Resistance in Termites (2010, background): “Because different components of the immune response appear to be closely linked to life history ( Zuk and Stoehr 2002 ), questions about immunity in relation to termite life history merit further research.”
Temperature extremes and butterfly fitness: conflicting evidence from life history and immune function (2011, background): “…between males and females were expected as immune responses often vary with reproductive effort (Ilmonen et al., 2000; Bonneaud et al., 2003; Schwartz & Koella, 2004), and because male and female reproductive effort typically differs considerably (Zuk, 1990; Roff, 2002; Zuk & Stoehr, 2002).”
Physiological condition and immune function in great tits (Parus major L.): sources of variation and trade-offs in relation to growth (2006, background): “Assuming that immune function is resource-limited, it has been expected to compete with other important functions of an organism for the total resource pool, giving rise to trade-offs in resource allocation (reviewed in Sheldon & Verhulst 1996; Zuk & Stoehr 2002; Schmid-Hempel 2003).”
Immune challenge reduces reproductive output and growth in a lizard (2006, background): “Expenditure on immunity can be divided into three cost categories; production, maintenance and usage (reviewed in Klasing & Leshchinsky 1998; Lochmiller & Deerenberg 2000; Zuk & Stoehr 2002 ).”
Integrating behaviour with life history: boldness of the field cricket, Gryllus integer, during ontogeny (2012, background): “…(see Biro& Stamps 2008; Kortet, Hedrick & Vainikka 2010) and that immune function is condition- and energy-dependent (Kraaijeveld & Godfray 1997; Zuk & Stoehr 2002; Freitak, Ots & Horak 2003; Schmid- Hempel 2005; Houston et al. 2007), the result that bold individuals possessed a poor immune…”
Comparative immunoecology in birds: hypotheses and tests (2007, background): “…suppressed immunity, so that males of polygynous species should have lower immune responses than females, whereas there should be no sex-bias in immune responses in monogamous species (Zuk 1994; Zuk and McKean 1996; Zuk and Stoehr 2002), seems to gain some tentative support in the present review.”
Age, parasites, and condition affect humoral immune response in tropical pythons (2006, background): “This publication redirected subsequent studies to focus on parasite-host interactions and incorporating immunological processes into vertebrate evolutionary biology (reviewed by Schmid-Hempel, 2003; Schmid-Hempel and Ebert, 2003; Zuk and Stoehr, 2002).”
Pathogen prevalence predicts human cross-cultural variability in individualism/collectivism (2008, background): “As is the case with immune defence more generally (Zuk & Stoehr 2002; Hanssen et al. 2004), there are potential costs as well as benefits associated with psychological and behavioural antipathogen defences.”
Reactive oxygen species as universal constraints in life-history evolution (2009, background): “…neglect the reality that the proximate mechanisms that underlie life-history trade-offs are, in many cases, unknown and might not necessarily be based around a currency involving energy or resource allocation (Råberg et al. 1998; Zera & Harshman 2001; Zuk & Stoehr 2002; Roff & Fairbairn 2007).”
Factors affecting parasite prevalence among wild bumblebees (2010, background): “Alternately, males of many invertebrates suffer higher levels of parasite infection than females, and invest less in immune defence (Zuk & McKean, 1996; Zuk & Stoehr, 2002).”
How should behavioural ecologists interpret measurements of immunity (2004, background): “Unfortunately, estimating disease resistance is not straightforward, as many researchers have pointed out (e.g. Lochmiller 1995; Siva-Jothy 1995; Sheldon & Verhulst 1996; Zuk 1996; Apanius 1998; Westneat & Birkhead 1998; Norris & Evans 2000; Zuk & Stoehr 2002).”
