On the correlation between heterozygosity and fitness in natural populations.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2002

Hansson Bengt, Westerberg Lars

Abstract excerpt

Three primary hypotheses currently prevail for correlations between heterozygosity at a set of molecular markers and fitness in natural populations. First, multilocus heterozygosity-fitness correlations might result from selection acting directly on the scored loci, such as at particular allozyme loci. Second, significant levels of linkage disequilibrium, as in recently bottlenecked-and-expanded populations,...
