Variation in immune defence as a question of evolutionary ecology
P Schmid-Hempel - Proceedings of the Royal Society of …, 2003 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The evolutionary–ecology approach to studying immune defences has generated a number
of hypotheses that help to explain the observed variance in responses. Here, selected topics …

Insect immunity: an evolutionary ecology perspective
We review recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of insect immune
defence, but do so in a framework defined by the ecological and evolutionary forces that …

Natural selection has driven the recurrent loss of an immunity gene that protects Drosophila against a major natural parasite
Polymorphisms in immunity genes can have large effects on susceptibility to infection. To
understand the origins of this variation, we have investigated the genetic basis of resistance …

Innate immunity and its evasion and suppression by hymenopteran endoparasitoids
O Schmidt, U Theopold, M Strand - BioEssays, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies suggest that insects use pattern recognition molecules to distinguish
prokaryotic pathogens and fungi from “self” structures. Less understood is how the innate …

A fitness cost of learning ability in Drosophila melanogaster
F Mery, TJ Kawecki - Proceedings of the Royal Society of …, 2003 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Maintenance of substantial genetic variation for learning ability in many animal populations
suggests that learning ability has fitness costs, but there is little empirical evidence for them …

Changes in lifetime immunocompetence in male and female Gryllus texensis (formerly G. integer): trade-offs between immunity and reproduction
SA Adamo, M Jensen, M Younger - Animal Behaviour, 2001 - Elsevier
Determining whether males make energetic trade-offs between immunity and reproduction
remains difficult, partly because of the complexity of the vertebrate immune system. We …

Costs of resistance: genetic correlations and potential trade‐offs in an insect immune system
Abstract Theory predicts that natural selection will erode additive genetic variation in fitness‐
related traits. However, numerous studies have found considerable heritable variation in …
