Physiological and Ecological Correlates of the Cellular and Humoral Innate Immune Responses in an Insular Desert Bat: The Fish-Eating Myotis (Myotis vivesi)
The immune response is affected by aridity, but it has been rarely examined in desert-
dwelling bats. For two consecutive years, we examined the seasonal variation in the innate …
