Testosterone, dominance signalling and immunosuppression in the house sparrow, Passer domesticus (2003, background): “2000) and higher ectoparasite loads (Poiani et al. 2000).”
Testosterone and sexual signalling in male house sparrows (Passer domesticus) (2001, background): “Evidence supporting these two assumptions is equivocal (Weatherhead et al. 1993; Saino et al. 1995; Zuk et al. 1995; Ros et al. 1997; Hasselquist et al. 1999; Verhulst et al. 1999; Evans et al. 2000; Poiani et al. 2000 ).”
Testing the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis: A review of the evidence (2004, background): “Testosterone has been found to correlate with circulating corticosterone in several species (Schoech et al. 1999; Duffy et al. 2000; Evans et al. 2000; Poiani et al. 2000; Sockman & Schwabl 2001).”
Maternal yolk testosterone does not modulate parasite susceptibility or immune function in great tit nestlings (2005, unknown): “Grossman 1985; Alexander & Stimson 1988), enhance parasite susceptibility (Zuk & McKean 1996; Schalk & Forbes 1997; Poiani, Goldsmith & Evans 2000 ) or indirectly exert an immunosuppressive effect via an increase in circulating glucocorticoids (Gross, Siegal & DuBose 1980; Ketterson et al . 1991; D”
The evolution of parasite-defence grooming in ungulates (2004, background): “…burden observed in males with elevated testosterone (e.g. Weatherhead et al., 1993; Saino & Moller, 1994; Eens et al., 2000; Olsson et al., 2000; Poiani et al., 2000; Hughes & Randolph, 2001a, b) is the result of suppressed grooming function rather than (or in addition to) compromised immune…”
Immune response covaries with corticosterone plasma levels under experimentally stressful conditions in nestling barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) (2003, background): “…large corticosterone plasma levels, together with the negative covariation between immune response and corticosterone levels after long-term stress, corroborates the idea of an immunodepressive effect of corticosterone (see Apanius, 1998; Evans et al., 2000; Poiani et al., 2000; von Holst, 1998).”
THE EFFECTS OF DOMINANCE ON SOCIAL FORAGING TACTIC USE IN HOUSE SPARROWS (2002, result): “Although recent studies found that developing and maintaining a large black throat patch (the signal of dominant status) may involve some costs in house sparrows (Veiga & Puerta, 1996; Poiani et al., 2000; Buchanan et al., 2001; but see Gonzalez et al., 2002), our results suggest that the mechanism ”
Social environment during molt and the expression of melanin-based plumage pigmentation in male house sparrows (Passer domesticus) (2002, background): “These findings complement past and current work on hormonal control of ornamental melanin pigmentation in birds (reviewed in Hall 1969; Ralph 1969; Owens and Short 1995; Kimball and Ligon 1999; Poiani et al. 2000).”
Mutual ornamentation, sexual selection, and social dominance in the black swan (2004, background): “, 2001), high ectoparasite load (Poiani et al., 2000), and low immunocompetence (Evans et al.”
