• Natural host‐plant quality affects immune defence of an insect herbivore (2007, background): “…the relationship between food and insect immune function have concentrated on food quantity rather than quality (e.g., Schmid-Hempel & Schmid-Hempel, 1998; Siva-Jothy & Thompson, 2002; Rantala et al., 2003; Lambrechts et al., 2004, but see Ojala et al., 2005; Kapari et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2006).”
• The Ecology and Evolution of Insect Baculoviruses (2003, background): “Diet can influence immune function in other groups of insects (Suwanchaichinda & Paskewitz 1998, Vass & Napi 1998) and it has recently been shown that starvation can rapidly decrease phenoloxidase activity in the beetle Tenebrio molitor(Siva-Jothy & Thompson 2002).”
• Plant defenses and population fluctuations of forest defoliators : mechanism-based scenarios (2005, background): “Among the possible candidates are starvation as such, deprivation of food, known to lead rapidly to declining immune defense (Fellowes et al. 1999, Siva-Jothy & Thompson 2002, Rantala et al. 2003); decline in sunspotrelated UV-B; the emergence of parasitoids able to block the…”
• An analysis of trade‐offs in immune function, body size and development time in the Mediterranean Field Cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus (2005, background): “Among evolutionary ecologists, immunocompetence has been traditionally defined as a quantitative measure indicating host capacity to resist infection in the absence of parasitism (e.g. Siva-Jothy 1995; Sheldon & Verhulst 1996; Schmid-Hempel & Ebert 2003).”
• Phenoloxidase: a key component of the insect immune system (2012, background): “…and gregaria phase did not differ in PO activity Wilson et al. (2002) Tenebrio molitor Nutritional status Positive Starvation reduced the PO activity Siva-Jothy & Thompson (2002) S. exempta Population density Positive Animals kept under crowded conditions showed higher PO values in hemolymph,…”
