- Female preference for male courtship song and its role as a signal of immune function and condition (2006, unknown): “…infested with parasites are less likely to call (Zuk et al. 1995) and up-regulation of the immune system comes at a cost to a male’s ability to call (Jacot et al. 2004, 2005) and with a host of studies indicating general costs of immune response (Zuk & Stoehr 2002; Schmid-Hempel & Ebert 2003).”
- Maternal care provides antifungal protection to eggs in the European earwig (2014, background): “These mechanisms include parasite avoidance, self-grooming, or specific and nonspecific immunological responses (Schmid-Hempel 2003; Schmid-Hempel and Ebert 2003; Cremer and Sixt 2009; Cotter and Kilner 2010a).”
- Life histories and parasite pressure across the major groups of social insects. (2005, background): “Host defences have been categorized as avoidance, resistance (before or after recovery) and tolerance, mechanisms that each have their own cost–benefit trade-offs and coevolutionary dynamics with specific pathogens (e.g. Boots and Bowers, 1999; Schmid-Hempel and Ebert, 2003; Weinig et al., 2003).”
- 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).”
- Spatial variation in species diversity and composition of flea assemblages in small mammalian hosts: geographical distance or faunal similarity? (2005, background): “because of presumably costly defence systems; Schmid-Hempel & Egert, 2003 ) but instead maintains their pressure (expressed as a number of parasite species) at a ‘tolerable’ level (Combes, 2001).”
- Captive and free-living red knots Calidris canutus exhibit differences in non-induced immunity that suggest different immune strategies in different environments (2008, background): “However, in captivity where, at least with captive knots, cleaning regimes are likely to keep all but a few common diseases of captivity at bay, the costs of immediate, non-specific immune function might outweigh the benefits (Schmid-Hempel and Ebert 2003).”
- Variation in immune defence as a question of evolutionary ecology (2003, background): “Such specificity readily explains variation in observed immune responses, and is a factor that is currently underrated (Schmid-Hempel & Ebert 2003).”
- Rapid evolutionary dynamics and disease threats to biodiversity (2003, background): “Factors maintaining host variation Models of host‐parasite coevolution based on simple genetic interactions show that polymorphisms in host resistance can be maintained by frequency-dependent selection, heterozygote advantage, or by correlated fitness costs of resistance traits [ 31 ].”
- Insect Immunity: An Evolutionary Ecology Perspective (2005, background): “This microevolutionary perspective was initially focussed on sexual selection in vertebrates (Hamilton and Zuk, 1982; Folstad and Karter, 1992; Sheldon and Verhulst, 1996), but has more recently shifted its view to an ecological one that uses invertebrates as models (e.g. Schmid-Hempel, 2003; Schmid”
- Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “Costly upregulation of innate and adaptive responses are subject to trade-offs against one another as well as against other physiological requirements, such as growth, development, and reproduction (109, 123).”
- The Ecology and Evolution of Insect Baculoviruses (2003, background): “Each could impose selectivity on the system and this has recently been described as the “defense component model” (Schmid-Hempel & Ebert 2003).”
- Ecology, Epidemiology, and Evolution of Parasitism in Daphnia (2005, background): “The latter may play an important role in the host–parasite arms race (Ebert and Hamilton 1996; Ebert 1998a; Schmid-Hempel and Ebert 2003).”
