Bird-feeding reduces the fever costs of fighting an infection. Check out our latest findings in @AnimalEcology with @_Jni_ and Jan-Åke Nilsson @Biology_LU besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… #ornithology #BirdFeeding

Thermoregulatory costs of the innate immune response are modulated by winter food availability in a...

By manipulating winter food availability in the wild, the authors showed that great tits subject to naturally unpredictable food resources responded to a nocturnal immune challenge with a larger...

Hot off the press! My first venture into the world of #MHC genes linking rarity and expression, supported by great co-authors, in @RSocPublishing #ProcB @Biology_LU #ornithology #immunogenetics royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Only rare classical MHC-I alleles are highly expressed in the European house sparrow

Abstract. The exceptional polymorphism observed within genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a core component of the vertebrate immune syste

How can feeders help birds fight infections? Nice @ConversationUK article covering our study on supplementary feeding and fever #ornithology @hydrobates1 @Biology_LU theconversation.com/how-bird…

How bird feeders help small species fight infection

Research shows providing food for birds not only stops them going hungry, it may help them fight off infection too.
