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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Necessity or capacity? Physiological state predicts problem-solving performance in house sparrows
Veronika Bókony,Ádám Z. Lendvai,Csongor I. Vágási,Csongor I. Vágási,Laura Patras,Péter L. Pap,József Németh,Ernő Vincze,Sándor Papp,Bálint Preiszner,Gábor Seress,András Liker,András Liker +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that aspects of physiological state influence problem-solving performance in a context-dependent manner, and these effects on problem-Solving capacity are more likely to drive individual innovation success than necessity due to poor condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet quality affects postnuptial molting and feather quality of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus): Interaction with humoral immune function?
Péter L. Pap,Péter L. Pap,Péter L. Pap,Csongor I. Vágási,Csongor I. Vágási,Csongor I. Vágási,Gábor Á. Czirják,Gábor Á. Czirják,Gábor Á. Czirják,Zoltán Barta,Zoltán Barta,Zoltán Barta +11 more
TL;DR: The absence of a negative effect of humoral immunity on molting in house sparrows might be related to the low energy and nutritional requirements of mounting and maintaining a humoral immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual dimorphism in immune function changes during the annual cycle in house sparrows
Péter L. Pap,Péter L. Pap,Gábor Á. Czirják,Gábor Á. Czirják,Csongor I. Vágási,Csongor I. Vágási,Zoltán Barta,Dennis Hasselquist +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that the immune system is highly variable between life cycle stages and sexes, highlighting the potential fine tuning of theimmune system to specific physiological states and environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haste makes waste but condition matters: molt rate-feather quality trade-off in a sedentary songbird.
Csongor I. Vágási,Péter L. Pap,Péter L. Pap,Orsolya Vincze,Zoltán Benkő,Attila Marton,Zoltán Barta +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that molt rate and its association with feather quality might be a major mediator of life history trade-offs and a novel advantage of early breeding, i.e. the facilitation of slower molt and the condition-dependent regulation of feather growth.
