recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10950

Abstract: Abstract The selective pressure from pathogens on individuals can have direct consequences on reproduction. Genes from the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are central to the vertebrate adaptive immune system and pathogen resistance. In species with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5321

Abstract: Abstract Long‐term data on host and parasite fitness are important for predicting how host–parasite interactions will be altered in an era of global change. Here, we use data collected from 1997 to 2013 to explore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64087-0

Abstract: Climate change is predicted to severely impact interactions between prey, predators and habitats. In Southern Europe, within the Mediterranean climate, herbaceous vegetation achieves its maximum growth in middle spring followed by a three-month dry summer,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.028803

Abstract: ABSTRACT Female birds transfer maternally derived antibodies (matAb) to their nestlings, via the egg yolk. These antibodies are thought to provide passive protection, and allow nestlings to avoid the costs associated with mounting an innate… read more here.
