Wetter climates select for higher immune gene diversity in resident, but not migratory, songbirds.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 29 Jan 2020

Abstract excerpt

Pathogen communities can vary substantially between geographical regions due to different environmental conditions. However, little is known about how host immune systems respond to environmental variation across macro-ecological and evolutionary scales. Here, we select 37 species of songbird that inhabit diverse environments, including African and Palaearctic residents and Afro-Palaearctic migrants, to address...
