Pathogens, odors, and disgust in rodents
All animals are under the constant threat of attack by parasites. The mere presence of
parasite threat can alter behavior before infection takes place. These effects involve …

Urinary neopterin of wild chimpanzees indicates that cell-mediated immune activity varies by age, sex, and female reproductive status
The study of free-living animal populations is necessary to understand life history trade-offs
associated with immune investment. To investigate the role of life history strategies in …
