(2012)Since the preferential body temperature should positively correlate with physiological performance, behavioural fever should enhance an organism's immune response under an immune challenge. Here we have studied the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012)Although the study of thermoregulation in insects has shown that infected animals tend to prefer higher temperatures than healthy individuals, the immune response and energetic consequences of this preference remain ...
-
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2018)Environmental temperature is a variable that influences all aspects of organisms, from physiological, e.g. immune function, and morphological traits to behavior. Recent studies have reported that environmental temperature ...

(Wiley, 2021)Environmental conditions experienced by developing animals have an impact on the development and maturity of the immune system. Specifically, the diet experienced during early development influences the maintenance and ...

(2011)Background: Feeding habits and dietary nutritional content may play a key role in pathogendependent foraging ecology, because mounting an effective immune response is costly for the host. Hypothesis: Since immune defence ...
