Abstract excerpt

In light of the immunological importance of molecules encoded within the major histocompatibility complex ( MHC), there are numerous studies examining the variability of these genes in wildlife populations. An underlying assumption in many of these studies is that MHC diversity invariably arises from a high level of allelic variation at a single gene locus, leading to widespread descriptions of thriving species...
