Volume and antimicrobial activity of secretions of the uropygial gland are correlated with malaria infection in house sparrows
BackgroundAnimals have developed a wide range of defensive mechanisms against parasites to reduce the likelihood of infection and its negative fitness costs. The uropygial gland is an exocrine gland… Expand
