Influence of major histocompatibility complex genotype on mating success in a free-ranging reptile population.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are highly polymorphic components of the vertebrate immune system, which play a key role in pathogen resistance. MHC genes may also function as odour-related cues for mate choice, thus ensuring optimal MHC diversity in offspring. MHC-associated mate choice has been demonstrated in some fish, bird and mammal species but it is not known whether this is a general...
