Immune response to an endotoxin challenge involves multiple immune parameters and is consistent among the annual-cycle stages of a free-living temperate zone bird by Hegemann, Arne, Matson, Kevin D, Versteegh, Maaike A, Villegas, Auxiliadora, Tieleman, B Irene

“…Trade-offs between immune function and other physiological and behavioural processes are central in ecoimmunology, but one important problem is how to…”

Baseline haptoglobin concentrations are repeatable and predictive of certain aspects of a subsequent experimentally-induced inflammatory response by Matson, Kevin D., Horrocks, Nicholas P.C., Versteegh, Maaike A., Tieleman, B. Irene

“…Ecologists sometimes assume immunological indices reflect fundamental attributes of individuals—an important assumption if an index is to be interpreted in an…”

Wild skylarks seasonally modulate energy budgets but maintain energetically costly inflammatory immune responses throughout the annual cycle by Hegemann, Arne, Matson, Kevin D, Versteegh, Maaike A, Tieleman, B Irene

“…A central hypothesis of ecological immunology is that immune defences are traded off against competing physiological and behavioural processes. During…”

One problem, many solutions: simple statistical approaches help unravel the complexity of th eimmune system in an ecological context by Buehler, D.M, Versteegh, M.A, Matson, K.D, Tieleman, B.I
