Seasonal changes in vertebrate immune activity: mediation by physiological trade-offs

Lynn B. Martin, +2 more
- 27 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: Evidence supporting the hypothesis that physiological trade-offs, particularly those between the reproductive and immune systems, mediate part of the seasonal changes detected in the immune defences of many vertebrates is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune activity elevates energy expenditure of house sparrows: a link between direct and indirect costs?

Lynn B. Martin, +2 more
- 22 Jan 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that immune activity in wild passerines increases energy expenditure, which in turn may influence important life–history characteristics such as clutch size, timing of breeding or the scheduling of moult.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytohemagglutinin-induced skin swelling in birds : histological support for a classic immunoecological technique

Lynn B. Martin, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: Data indicate that PHA-induced swelling is related to heightened immune cell activity in House Sparrows, but also that the PHA swelling response in this species is dynamic and involves both innate and adaptive components of the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress and immunity in wild vertebrates: Timing is everything

Lynn B. Martin
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The cellular and molecular mechanisms that link stress responses to immune adjustments over short time scales in domesticated species are reviewed and an attempt is made to place stress-immune interactions in a naturalistic, organismal context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity, loss, and gain of malaria parasites in a globally invasive bird

Alfonso Marzal, +28 more
- 11 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: The results show that haemosporidian parasites in the house sparrows' native range are replaced by species from local host-generalist parasite fauna in the alien environments of North and South America, which rejects the Novel Weapon Hypothesis and is concordant with the Enemy Releasehypothesis.
