Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal transfer of antibodies: raising immuno-ecology issues.

TL;DR: Current studies of the role of the maternal transfer of antibodies highlight how research in ecological immunology needs to combine functional and evolutionary approaches while also keeping in mind ecological settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal antibody persistence: a neglected life-history trait with implications from albatross conservation to comparative immunology

TL;DR: It is shown that specific maternal antibodies can display an estimated half-life of 25 days post-hatching in the nestlings of a long-lived bird and this temporal persistence is much longer than previously known for birds and it suggests specific properties in the regulation of IgY immunoglobulin catabolism in such a species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of an interannual effect of maternal immunization on the immune response of juveniles in a long‐lived colonial bird

TL;DR: The results suggest that the role of maternal antibodies may depend on the timing and pattern of offspring exposure to parasites, along with the patterns of maternal exposure and the dynamics of her immune response, and the nature of these effects may vary dramatically among host-parasite systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of anti-Borrelia antibodies in Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) chicks suggest a maternal educational effect

TL;DR: The results suggest that the presence of maternal anti- bodies against Borrelia increases the overall production of anti- Bor Relia immunoglobulins by chicks and support the exis- tence of an adaptive maternal effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic communication in the Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla : potential cues for sexual and individual signatures in long calls

TL;DR: It is shown that calls in the Kittiwake are sexually dimorphic and that the dimorphism is mainly based on the value of the fundamental frequency, and that calls are individually distinct, individuality being due to a complex of temporal and frequency parameters located in different parts of the signal.
