Enhanced selection for MHC diversity in social tuco-tucos.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2002

Hambuch Tina M, Lacey Eileen A

Abstract excerpt

To explore the effects of behavior and demography on balancing selection at major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci, we examined allelic diversity at exon 2 of the MHC class II DQbeta locus in a social and a solitary species of tuco-tuco (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae: Ctenomys), both of which occur in the same valley in southwestern Argentina. By comparing patterns of diversity at this MHC gene to the diversity...
