Behavioral responses during sickness in amphibians and reptiles: Concepts, experimental design, and implications for field studies
LC Cabanzo-Olarte, KCB Cardoso, CA Navas - Journal of Thermal Biology, 2024 - Elsevier
In ectothermic vertebrates, behavioral fever, where an individual actively seeks warmer
areas, seems to be a primary response to pathogens. This is considered a broad and …

Interplay among steroids, body condition and immunity in response to long-term captivity in toads
Stressful experiences can promote harmful effects on physiology and fitness. However,
stress-mediated hormonal and immune changes are complex and may be highly dependent …

[HTML][HTML] Short-term stressors and corticosterone effects on immunity in male toads (Rhinella icterica): a neuroimmune-endocrine approach
In the last decades, it is growing the idea that stress-induced immunomodulation is bimodal:
with acute stress associated with enhancing effects while chronic stress with suppressive …
