Mol Ecol
. 2023 Mar;
32(12):3044-3059.
PMID: 36919652
Individuals vary in their immune genotype, inbreeding coefficient f, immune responses, survival to adulthood, and adult longevity. However, whether immune genes predict survival or longevity, whether such relationships are mediated...

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
. 2022 Feb;
97(3):1193-1209.
PMID: 35128775
Smell is a sensory modality that is rarely considered in birds, but evidence is mounting that olfaction is an important aspect of avian behaviour and ecology. The uropygial gland produces...

Evolution
. 2021 Oct;
75(11):2736-2746.
PMID: 34596241
Parasite-mediated selection is widespread at loci involved in immune defense, but different defenses may experience different selective regimes. For defenses involved in clearing infections, purifying selection favoring a single most...

Grieves L, Gloor G, Kelly T, Bernards M, MacDougall-Shackleton E
J Anim Ecol
. 2021 May;
90(9):2202-2212.
PMID: 34002375
Metabolites produced by symbiotic microbes can affect the odour of their hosts, providing olfactory cues of identity, sex or other salient features. In birds, preen oil is a major source...

MacDougall-Shackleton E
Mol Ecol
. 2020 Aug;
29(19):3575-3577.
PMID: 32745346
Multi-cellular organisms are under constant attack from parasites, making immune defence a critical aspect of fitness. In vertebrate animals, genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) determine the breadth of...

Slade J, Watson M, MacDougall-Shackleton E
Ecol Evol
. 2019 May;
9(9):5146-5157.
PMID: 31110668
In vertebrate animals, genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) determine the set of pathogens to which an individual's adaptive immune system can respond. MHC genes are extraordinarily polymorphic, often...

J Chem Ecol
. 2018 Nov;
45(1):37-45.
PMID: 30456558
Chemical signaling has been well studied in invertebrates and mammals but less so in birds, due to the longstanding misconception that olfaction is unimportant or even non-existent in this taxon....

Nelson-Flower M, Germain R, MacDougall-Shackleton E, Taylor S, Arcese P
J Hered
. 2018 Jun;
109(5):501-509.
PMID: 29893971
Variation in immune gene sequences is known to influence resistance to infectious diseases and parasites, and hence survival and mate choice, across animal taxa. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) comprise one essential...

J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol
. 2018 Mar;
329(1):5-14.
PMID: 29570956
Migratory birds move through multiple habitats and encounter a diverse suite of parasites. This raises concern over migrants' role in transporting infectious disease between breeding and wintering grounds, and along...

PMID: 29356443
A central tenet of ecoimmunology is that an organism's environment shapes its optimal investment in immunity. For example, the benefits of acquired (relatively pathogen specific) versus innate (nonspecific) immune defenses...
