MHC-mediated mate choice increases parasite resistance in salmon.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 2008

Consuegra Sofia, Garcia de Leaniz Carlos

Abstract excerpt

Natural (parasite-driven) and sexual selection are thought to maintain high polymorphism in the genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), but support for a link between mate choice, MHC variation and increased parasite resistance is circumstantial. We compared MHC diversity and Anisakis loads among anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) returning to four rivers to spawn, which had originated from...
