Does linkage disequilibrium generate heterozygosity-fitness correlations in great reed warblers?

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) at noncoding genetic markers are commonly assumed to reflect fitness effects of heterozygosity at genomewide distributed genes in partially inbred populations. However, in populations with much linkage disequilibrium (LD), HFCs may arise also as a consequence of selection on fitness loci in the local chromosomal vicinity of the markers. Recent data suggest that...
