MHC-based patterns of social and extra-pair mate choice in the Seychelles warbler.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Apr 2005

Abstract excerpt

The existence and nature of indirect genetic benefits to mate choice remain contentious. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, which play a vital role in determining pathogen resistance in vertebrates, may be the link between mate choice and the genetic inheritance of vigour in offspring. Studies have shown that MHC-dependent mate choice can occur in mammal and fish species, but little work has focused on...
