Sexual dimorphism in immunocompetence: what does life-history theory predict? (2006, background): “…(e.g., diet quality, reproductive history), the direction and/or presence of sex differences in immunocompetence depended on these different factors (Klein 2000; Adamo et al. 2001; Hosken 2001; Fedorka et al. 2004; Zuk et al. 2004; McGraw and Ardia 2005; McKean and Nunney 2005; Rolff et al. 2005).”
Phenoloxidase: a key component of the insect immune system (2012, background): “…high density had significantly higher PO levels Reeson et al. (1998) Gryllus texensis Aging Negative Old males showed lower PO values than mature males Adamo et al. (2001) Schistocerca gregaria Population density No relation Animals in solitaria and gregaria phase did not differ in PO…”
Experimentally induced spermatophore production and immune responses reveal a trade-off in crickets (2010, methodology): “This pathogen has been used to assess the immunocompetence of crickets and other insect species (Adamo et al. 2001; Inglis et al. 2003; Adamo 2004a; Lazzaro et al. 2006; Gershman 2008).”
Variation in immune defence as a question of evolutionary ecology (2003, background): “Thus, immune function may vary generally as a result of different life histories for males and females (an evolutionary cost) (Adamo et al. 2001; Rolff 2001).”
Temperature extremes and butterfly fitness: conflicting evidence from life history and immune function (2011, background): “Further, negative effects of mating on male immunity have been demonstrated in insects (Adamo et al., 2001; McKean & Nunney, 2001; Rolff & Siva-Jothy, 2002).”
Immune activity suppresses reproduction in food‐limited female tree lizards Urosaurus ornatus (2007, background): “For example, we may expect younger individuals or individuals at the start of the breeding season would be more likely to invest in immune function at the cost of their reproduction (Sheldon & Verhulst 1996; Saino et al. 1999; Adamo et al. 2001; Adamo 2002).”
Female preference for male courtship song and its role as a signal of immune function and condition (2006, unknown): “Adamo et al. (2001) found that 2-week-old male G. texensis had similar haemocyte counts to 1e3-day-old males, but that older males had reduced phenoloxidase activity and resistance to bacterial infection.”
Immune Defense and Host Life History (2002, background): “…study of four species of damselfly revealed no sex differences in immune response (Yourth et al. 2001), two species of crickets showed the expected sexual dimorphism, with males being more susceptible than females to infection with the bacteria Serratia liquefaciens (Gray 1998; Adamo et al. 2001).”
An analysis of trade‐offs in immune function, body size and development time in the Mediterranean Field Cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus (2005, background): “Studies in Gryllus texensis (Adamo et al. 2001) and Acheta domesticus (Gray 1998) have found that male crickets are more susceptible than females to infection with the bacteria Serratia liquefaciens.”
Ecology, Behavior and Evolution of Disease Resistance in Termites (2010, background): “Low levels of PO activity (and therefore encapsulation) are considered to represent reduced immunocompetence (Reeson et al. 1998), reflecting preferential investment of nutritional resources in other life history traits (Fellowes et al. 1998; Adamo et al. 2001; Siva-Jothy et al. 2001).”
