Proc Biol Sci 273:1407-14. 2006..They could, thus, also be relevant in the broader context of the evolution of sexually selected signals that are based on carotenoids and are, thus supposed to reflect oxidative stress resistance...
An experimental test of the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in a teleost fish: 11-ketotestosterone suppresses innate immunity in three-spined sticklebacksJoachim Kurtz

Am Nat 170:509-19. 2007..Moreover, there was a trend for fish with high 11kT levels to suffer more from oxidative stress. Thus, our data provide support for the ICHH...

Proc Biol Sci 274:1523-32. 2007..River sticklebacks seem to have reduced their immune-competence potential due to lower parasite diversity in rivers...
Parasites and individual major histocompatibility complex diversity--an optimal choice?K Mathias Wegner
Department of Evolutionary Ecology, Max Planck Institute of Limnology, August Thienemann Street 2, 24306 Plön, Germany
Microbes Infect 6:1110-6. 2004..Here, we review recent studies suggesting that due to the dominant nature of MHC-mediated resistance, a heterozygote advantage is most likely to be detected in multiple pathogen challenges...

Department of Evolutionary Ecology, Max Planck Institute of Limnology, August Thienemann Strasse 2, 24306 Plön, Germany
Proc Biol Sci 271:197-204. 2004..Such a pattern is consistent with theoretical expectations of an optimal balance between the number of recognizable antigens and self-tolerance...

Leibniz Institute for Marine Sciences, Department of Evolutionary Ecology of Marine Fishes, Duesternbrooker Weg 20, 24105 Kiel, Germany
Nat Commun 3:621. 2012..This result demonstrates experimentally that varying parasite selection causes rapid adaptive evolutionary changes, thus facilitating the maintenance of major histocompatibility complex polymorphism...
One day is enough: rapid and specific host-parasite interactions in a stickleback-trematode systemGisep Rauch
Max Planck Institute for Limnology, Department of Evolutionary Ecology, 24306 Plön, Germany
Biol Lett 2:382-4. 2006..Such interactions require a fast genotype specific defence, suggesting the importance of other defence mechanisms than the too slow, fully mounted adaptive immune system in vertebrates...
