Sexual advertisement and immune function in an arachnid species (Lycosidae) (2004, methodology): “The lysozyme activity of the hemolymph was assayed turbidimetrically (see Ellis, 1990; Rantala and Kortet, 2003).”
A behavioural syndrome in the field cricket Gryllus integer: intrasexual aggression is correlated with activity in a novel environment (2007, background): “…many behavioural traits, such as mating preferences, antipredator behaviour, aggression, and social dominance have been studied in these animals (Adamo & Hoy, 1995; Hedrick & Weber, 1998; Gray & Cade, 1999; Hedrick, 2000; Wagner & Reiser, 2000; Rantala & Kortet, 2003; Kortet & Hedrick, 2004, 2005).”
Condition dependence of pheromones and immune function in the grain beetle Tenebrio molitor (2003, unknown): “2002; Rantala & Kortet 2003; Koskimäki et al .”
Female preference for male courtship song and its role as a signal of immune function and condition (2006, methodology): “…encapsulate a foreign object by introducing a piece of nylon filament into the body cavity and subsequently measuring its degree of melanization; this is a standard technique for analysing insect immunity (Konig & Schmid-Hempel 1995; Rantala et al. 2000; Doums et al. 2002; Rantala & Kortet 2003).”
Wing pigmentation, immune ability, fat reserves and territorial status in males of the rubyspot damselfly, Hetaerina americana (2006, background): “In line with this, several sources of evidence have documented that those males whose sexual traits are more elaborated are also more parasite-resistant (e.g. Siva-Jothy 2000; Faivre et al. 2003; Rantala and Kortet 2003; Saks et al. 2003).”
An analysis of trade‐offs in immune function, body size and development time in the Mediterranean Field Cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus (2005, methodology): “Lysozyme activity against Micrococcus lysoideikticus was assayed turbidometrically using methods similar to Rantala & Kortet (2003).”
The scent of dominance: female field crickets use odour to predict the outcome of male competition (2005, background): “Female field crickets have strong individual preferences with respect to males, and mate choice is not random (e.g., Hedrick 1986; Hedrick and Weber 1998; Rantala and Kortet 2003, 2004).”
Courtship effort is a better predictor of mating success than ornamentation for male wolf spiders (2009, background): “Nonetheless, leg-waving rate may convey other aspects of male quality (e.g., parasite load: Rantala and Kortet 2003; ejaculate quality: Matthews et al. 1997) or motivation.”
Male dominance and immunocompetence in a field cricket (2004, methodology): “Females are known to choose a mate on the basis of his song (Rantala and Kortet, 2003; Simmons, 1986b).”
Experimentally induced spermatophore production and immune responses reveal a trade-off in crickets (2010, result): “For example, other studies have demonstrated a negative correlation between encapsulation rate and lytic activity (Rantala and Kortet 2003; Rantala and Roff 2005; Simmons and Roberts 2005; Väänänen et al. 2006) and between PO activity and lytic activity (Bailey and Zuk 2008).”
