Chemosensation and genetic individuality.

Reproduction (Cambridge, England) - 1 Apr 2001

Singh P B

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies have shown that there are measurable behavioural consequences that can result from the olfactory recognition of alleles borne at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). These consequences include simple individual recognition, disassortative mate preference, discrimination of kin from non-kin and whether a pregnancy is carried to term. Such a system, which can influence the reproductive...
