A hidden cost of migration? Innate immune function versus antioxidant defense
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3756
Abstract: Abstract Migration is energetically demanding and physiologically challenging. Migrating birds, for example, need to boost their antioxidant defenses to defeat the pro‐oxidants produced during high energetic activity. The enhanced antioxidant defense possibly withdraws limited resources… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0592-9_13
Abstract: The microscopic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a powerful system to characterize evolutionarily ancient mechanisms of pathogen sensing, innate immune activation, and protective host responses. Experimentally, C. elegans can be infected with a wide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2308-2
Abstract: How and why individuals differ from each other is a central question in behavioral and evolutionary ecology, because selection particularly acts on this among-individual variation. It is therefore important to accurately partition phenotypic variances into… read more here.
