Temperature effects on teleost immunity in the light of climate change
JP Scharsack, F Franke - Journal of Fish Biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Temperature is an important environmental modulator of teleost immune activity.
Susceptibility of teleosts to temperature variation depends on the species‐specific adaptive …

Introduction. ecological immunology
An organism's fitness is critically reliant on its immune system to provide protection against
parasites and pathogens. The structure of even simple immune systems is surprisingly …

Host phenotype and microbiome vary with infection status, parasite genotype, and parasite microbiome composition
A growing literature demonstrates the impact of helminths on their host gut microbiome. We
investigated whether the stickleback host microbiome depends on ecoevolutionary variables …

Outdoor immunology: methodological considerations for ecologists
Immune defence is an incredibly complicated system, but to understand how it functions in
an ecological context is challenging. Our focus is to outline the diversity of ways to measure …

Retention of a chromosomal inversion from an anadromous ancestor provides the genetic basis for alternative freshwater ecotypes in rainbow trout
Migratory behaviour patterns in animals are controlled by a complex genetic architecture.
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a salmonid fish that spawns in streams but exhibits …

The role of parasitism in adaptive radiations—when might parasites promote and when might they constrain ecological speciation?
Research on speciation and adaptive radiation has flourished during the past decades, yet
factors underlying initiation of reproductive isolation often remain unknown. Parasites …

Parasite diversity, patterns of MHC II variation and olfactory based mate choice in diverging three-spined stickleback ecotypes
Ecological speciation has been the subject of intense research in evolutionary biology but
the genetic basis of the actual mechanism driving reproductive isolation has rarely been …

Adaptation to low parasite abundance affects immune investment and immunopathological responses of cavefish
Reduced parasitic infection rates in the developed world are suspected to underlie the rising
prevalence of autoimmune disorders. However, the long-term evolutionary consequences of …
