• Seasonality and the dynamics of infectious diseases. (2006, background): “Grouse males given testosterone implants experienced greater infection rates, but also held larger territories – leading to more mates and higher mortality rates (Mougeot et al. 2004).”
• Relating endocrinology, physiology and behaviour using species with alternative mating strategies (2007, background): “…and experimental studies to covary with testosterone in males of many species (Saino, Møller & Bolzern 1995; Salvador et al. 1996; Olsson et al. 2000; Klukowski & Nelson 2001; Mougeot et al. 2004; Mougeot et al. 2005; Perez-Orella & Schulte-Hostedde 2005), but causal relationships are uncertain.”
• Correlated evolution of male and female testosterone profiles in birds and its consequences (2005, background): “Numerous other experiments on males have shown negative effects of testosterone on immunity (Casto et al. 2001; Mougeot et al. 2004; Owen-Ashley et al. 2004; review in Roberts et al. 2004).”
• Parasites, testosterone and honest carotenoid-based signalling of health (2007, background): “tenuis mount an immune response to the infection (Wilson & Wilson 1978; Mougeot et al. 2004), which would produce free radicals and increase oxidative stress (Ahmad 1995).”
• Disease ecology meets ecological immunology: understanding the links between organismal immunity and infection dynamics in natural populations (2011, background): “…effects on immunosuppression are driven by hormonal changes; link with higher transmission during breeding season and individual variation in parasite infection Mougeot et al. 2004, 2005a,b; 14Seivwright et al. 2005; Mougeot, Redpath & Piertney 2006 House Finches – Mycoplasma gallisepticum Effects…”
