Ungulate flight responses to human disturbance: a review and meta-analysis. (2008, background): “Alternatively, isolation on islands, not fewer predators, may be responsible for this island effect (Blumstein and Daniel, 2005): island living may select against highly ‘reactive’ (Sih et al., 2004) individuals and this selection can impact antipredator responses.”
More than a feeling: A unified view of stress measurement for population science (2018, background): “Inflammatory processes, which are consistently upregulated during periods of acute and prolonged stress (Marsland et al., 2017; Segerstrom and Miller, 2004) are also implicated in signaling the brain in ways relevant to the processing of stressors.”
The perseverative cognition hypothesis: a review of worry, prolonged stress-related physiological activation, and health. (2006, background): “The authors interpreted these increases as reflecting general physiological activation, which is in line with the notion that mild acute stress may increase activity in some immune parameters, while more severe and chronic stress is more likely to be immunosuppressive [43].”

Depression as a predictor of disease progression and mortality in cancer patients (2009, neutral): “In contrast to this assumption, physical vulnerability has been found to increase the effect of stress on immune change, making it possible that a later stage of cancer would actually increase the effect of depression on cancer outcomes.(83) It has been suggested that very early and very advanced tu”
