Compatibility counts: MHC-associated mate choice in a wild promiscuous primate.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Mar 2008

Schwensow Nina, Eberle Manfred, Sommer Simone

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms and temporal aspects of mate choice according to genetic constitution are still puzzling. Recent studies indicate that fitness is positively related to diversity in immune genes (MHC). Both sexes should therefore choose mates of high genetic quality and/or compatibility. However, studies addressing the role of MHC diversity in pre- and post-copulatory mate choice decisions in wild-living animals...
