OverviewAI-generated summary

Jennifer Terry's research focuses on the intersection of immunology, stress physiology, and wildlife biology, with a particular emphasis on reptiles. Her work investigates immune responses in various species, including turtles and watersnakes, examining factors such as sex steroids and corticosterone in relation to immune function. Terry has published studies assessing glucocorticoids and innate immunity in wild red-eared slider turtles and comparing functional immune responses in aquatic turtle species. Her research also explores the relationships between stress, reproduction, and immunity in watersnakes and characterizes primary immune responses against specific antigens in reptiles. Additionally, Terry has examined the immune and stress physiology of captive tortoise species and has a publication on the impact of COVID-19 as a chronic stressor on academic productivity. She collaborates extensively with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Lorin A. Neuman-Lee, Virginie Rolland, Isabella V Davis, and Natalie T. Haydt, with whom she has multiple shared publications.
