Predation risk, host immune response, and parasitism (2004, background): “Several aspects of the immune system are known to be under the influence of condition (Alonso-Alvarez and Tella, 2001; Chandra and Newberne, 1977; Gershwin et al., 1985; Møller et al., 1998).”
Differential species-specific ectoparasitic mite intensities in two intimately coexisting sibling bat species: resource-mediated host attractiveness or parasite specialization? (2003, background): “Although immunocompetence (T-cell response) usually correlates positively with body condition and/or nutritional status (review in Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001 ), reports on a direct link between parasite intensities and T-cell response to a phytohaemagglutinin injection remain scarce (Christe et al”
The function of female and male ornaments in the Inca Tern: evidence for links between ornament expression and both adult condition and reproductive performance (2001, result): “This result agrees with other studies, which have shown a positive relationship between nutritional condition, survival and immunocompetence of nestlings (e.g. Saino et al. 1997, Christe et al. 1998; see JOURNAL OF AVIAN BIOLOGY 32:4 (2001) 315 also Alonso-Alvarez and Tella 2001).”
Density-dependent prophylaxis and condition-dependent immune function in Lepidopteran larvae: a multivariate approach (2004, background): “Several studies examining the condition-dependence of immune function in vertebrates have found evidence for positive covariation between measures of immunity and body condition (Birkhead, Fletcher & Pellatt 1998; Gonzalez et al. 1999; Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001; Moller & Petrie 2002).”
Physiological condition and immune function in great tits (Parus major L.): sources of variation and trade-offs in relation to growth (2006, methodology): “The PHA skin test has been widely used to assess correlation between cell-mediated immunity and body condition (Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001; Lifjeld et al. 2002), energy expenditure (Martin et al. 2003), hormone profiles (Casto et al. 2001), brood size (Sorci et al. 1997; Saino et al. 1997; Moreno…”
Increase in the constitutive innate humoral immune system in Leach's Storm‐Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa) chicks is negatively correlated with growth rate (2005, background): “Horak et al . 1999; Johnsen et al . 2000; Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001; Christe et al . 2001; Svensson, Sinervo & Comendant 2001; Raberg & Stjernman 2003).”
Inter-sexual differences in the immune response of Eurasian kestrel nestlings under food shortage (2002, unknown): “Immune response was associated with fledgling body mass and condition, a common finding in studies of birds ( Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001 ).”
Condition and androgen levels: are condition-dependent and testosterone-mediated traits two sides of the same coin? (2006, background): “Alonso-Álvarez & Tella (2001) found a threshold value of condition above which improvements do not enhance immune response.”
Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “For example, the PHAinduced skin swelling test is known to be highly sensitive to changes in bodymass, condition, blood parasite infection and stress (Moreno et al. 1999; Gonzalez et al. 1999b; Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001; Lifjeld et al. 2002; Navarro et al. 2003; Ewenson et al. 2003).”
TECHNIQUES FOR STUDYING INTEGRATED IMMUNE FUNCTION IN BIRDS (2006, background): “Recent studies have found that maintaining or activating immune function can be resource-dependent (Tsiagbe et al. 1987; Saino et al. 1997b, 2003; Alonso-Alvarez and Tella 2001) and metabolically costly (Demas et al. 1997, Lochmiller and Deerenberg 2000, Ots et al. 2001, Martin et al. 2002) and,…”
Host condition and host immunity affect parasite fitness in a bird–ectoparasite system (2007, background): “…consistent evidence for condition-dependent effects on parasite defence and the strength of immune reactions in general (including the reaction against a PHA injection; e.g. Gershwin et al. 1985; Cook 1991; Lochmiller et al. 1993; Saino et al. 1997; Ing et al. 2000; Alonso-Alvarez & Tella 2001).”
Survival in a long-lived territorial migrant: effects of life-history traits and ecological conditions in wintering and breeding areas (2009, background): “The energetic content and nutritional quality of food fed to chicks are both determinants of physiological stress and immunocompetence (Kitaysky et al. 1999, Alonso-Álvarez and Tella 2001), which may affect survival prospects (Tella et al. 2000, Blas et al. 2007).”
