A fruit diet rather than invertebrate diet maintains a robust innate immunity in an omnivorous tropical songbird
1. Diet alteration may lead to nutrient limitations even in the absence of food limitation, and this may affect physiological functions, including immunity. Nutrient limitations may also affect the maintenance of body mass and key life‐history events that may affect immune function. Yet, variation i...
