Homo medicus: The transition to meat eating increased pathogen pressure and the use of pharmacological plants in Homo
The human lineage transitioned to a more carnivorous niche 2.6 mya and evolved a large
body size and slower life history, which likely increased zoonotic pathogen pressure …

Relating wing morphology and immune function to patterns of partial and differential bat migration using stable isotopes
Migration is energetically expensive and is predicted to drive similar morphological
adaptations and physiological trade‐offs in migratory bats and birds. Previous studies …

Effects of host state and body condition on parasite infestation of bent-wing bats
YL Tai, YF Lee, YM Kuo, YJ Kuo - Frontiers in Zoology, 2022 - Springer
Background Ectoparasites inhabit the body surface or outgrowths of hosts and are usually
detrimental to host health and wellbeing. Hosts, however, vary in quality and may lead …

Leukocyte allometries in birds are not affected by captivity
Body size affects many traits, but often in allometric, or disproportionate ways. For example,
large avian and mammalian species circulate far more of some immune cells than expected …
