Abstract excerpt
Salmon have provided key insights into the relative influence of natural and sexual selection on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) variation. Natural selection on salmon MHC genes has been demonstrated in pathogen studies, and there is evidence of MHC-based mate choice (sexual selection). We tested whether parental MHC genes affect survivorship of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by quantifying the...
