Ecological immunology: do sexual attraction and immunity trade-off through a desaturase? [PDF]
Insect SciGiven the limited availability of resources in nature, sexual attractiveness may trade off with immunocompetence, as the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis (ICHH) posits.

Environmental variability affects optimal trade‐offs in ecological immunology
Ecosphere, 2021 The costs of mounting and maintaining an immune response lead to trade‐offs with investment in (or maintenance of) other organ systems or functions such as reproduction, as has been observed in several taxa, including birds, insects, and mammals.

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2016 Locomotion and other physical activities by free-living animals may influence immune function and disease susceptibility. This influence may be a consequence of energetic trade-offs or other mechanisms that are often, but not always, inseparably linked ...

Sociality and disease: behavioral perspectives in ecological and evolutionary immunology
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2022 The coronavirus pandemic has made us all too familiar with the evolutionary ecology of disease and the role of social behavior in the transmission of infection.

Ecological immunology: The organism in context. [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2009 A major challenge in integrative biology is understanding the mechanisms by which organisms regulate trade-offs among various functions competing for limiting resources. Key among these competing processes is the maintenance of health and the production of offspring. Optimizing both, given limited resources, can prove challenging. The physiological and

Ecological immunology mediated by diet in herbivorous insects. [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2014 A rapidly advancing area of ecological immunology concerns the effects of diet on animals' immunological responses to parasites and pathogens. Here, we focus on diet-mediated ecological immunology in herbivorous insects, in part because these organisms commonly experience nutritional limitations from their diets of plants.

Ecological immunology: costly parasite defences and trade-offs in evolutionary ecology.
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1996 In the face of continuous threats from parasites, hosts have evolved an elaborate series of preventative and controlling measures - the immune system - in order to reduce the fitness costs of parasitism. However, these measures do have associated costs. Viewing an individual's immune response to parasites as being subject to optimization in the face of

Life history theory and the immune system: Steps toward a human ecological immunology
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2003 Within anthropology and human biology, there is growing interest in immune function and its importance to the ecology of human health and development.
