& Sexual Selection
Eco-Immunology
a) Sexual Selection
-
How does the brain of invertebrates work when they choose a mating partner or when they fight with each other to get a partner?
-
What information do colors, odors and courtship convey to potential partners? In the context of these signals what is the role of the immune response and oxidative stress?
b) Eco-Immunology
-
Innate immune memory (immune priming): costs, benefits and mechanisms.
-
Entomopathogenic nematodes: animals with biological weapons.
-
Immune response and oxidative stress as markers of the condition of animals in environments polluted by human activity.
