Plasticity in immune responses in a model insect [PDF]
, 2011 PhDIn order to understand how the environment, parental environment and inbreeding influence immune function and life history traits, I carried out a series of experiments using the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, as a model organism.

Age and environment affect constitutive immune function in Red Knots (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
, 2009 We studied subspecies, age and environmental effects on constitutive immune function (natural antibody and complement titres, haptoglobin activity and leukocyte concentrations) in Red Knots (Calidris canutus). We compared C. c. islandica and C.

A Comment on opt-AINet: An Immune Network Algorithm for Optimisation [PDF]
, 2004 Verifying the published results of algorithms is part of the usual research process. This helps to both validate the existing literature, but also quite often allows for new insights and augmentations of current systems in a methodological manner.
