The immune system of ectothermic vertebrates
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1996 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The adaptive immune system, as defined by T cell receptors, immunoglobulins, and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), has been described definitively at the level of teleost fish. Cartilaginous fish, which display many of the hallmarks of such an adaptive system, nevertheless have several ...

The effect of temperature on herbivory by the omnivorous ectotherm snail Lymnaea stagnalis
Hydrobiologia, 2018 Rising temperatures likely affect the trophic interactions in temperate regions as global warming progresses. An open question is how a temperature rise may affect consumer pressure and plant abundance in shallow aquatic ecosystems, where most consumers ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class globally. Climate change, agrochemicals, and/or pathogens and parasites are implicated in contributing to amphibian declines, either singly or in combination. We investigated individual and combined effects of elevated temperatures and atrazine (2.0 μg/L) on Lithobates [formerly Rana] pipiens

Innate Immunity in the Cottonmouth Watersnake (Agkistrodon piscivorus)
AnimalsDespite their ecological importance and unique evolutionary history, reptiles remain underrepresented in immunological research. The innate immunity of the cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), a semi-aquatic pit viper native to the southeastern United ...

Thermal landscape change as a driver of ectotherm responses to plant invasions
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 A growing body of research demonstrates the impacts of invasive alien plants on native animals, but few studies consider thermal effects as a driver of the responses of native organisms.

On the generality of the latitudinal diversity gradient [PDF]
, 2004 The decline of biodiversity with latitude has received great attention, but both the concise pattern and the causes of the gradient are under strong debate.
