• Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, unknown): “…& Johnston, 1982; Murphy, 1985), physiological traits, mainly metabolic rate and immune function (Threadgold, 1960; Blem, 1974; Kendeigh, 1976; Martin et al., 2004, 2005), life-history traits (Dyer et al., 1977; Murphy, 1978; Anderson, 1994; Baker, 1995) and genetic traits (Johnston & Klitz,…”
• Interspecific variation in avian blood parasites and haematology associated with urbanization in a desert habitat (2008, background): “Geographic variation in the immune response has been studied in HOSP (Martin et al. 2004).”
• A taste for novelty in invading house sparrows, Passer domesticus (2005, background): “This possibility may be important for our New Jersey sparrows in particular as they were found to invest less in immune defense than their Panamanian counterparts (Martin et al., 2004).”
• Phytohemagglutinin-induced skin swelling in birds : histological support for a classic immunoecological technique (2006, methodology): “Although several techniques have been used to measure immune function in natural contexts, the phytohemagglutinin (PHA) skin-swelling test has become one of the most popular because of its simplicity (Smits, Bortolotti, & Tella 1999), amenability to field work (Ardia 2005a; Martin et al . 2004 ), a”
• Tree swallows trade off immune function and reproductive effort differently across their range (2005, background): “Recent work by Martin et al. (2004) found differences in immune function between tropical and temperate House Sparrows (Passer domesticus).”
• Comparative immunoecology in birds: hypotheses and tests (2007, background): “…showed lowest unspecific T cell mediated inflammatory response (to PHA) in the early breeding as compared with late breeding or autumn periods (Martin et al. 2004), and captive Starlings showed lower splenocyte proliferation (a measure of T cell mediated immunity) during the breeding season…”
