Condition-dependent mate choice and a reproductive disadvantage for MHC-divergent male tiger salamanders.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles likely have adaptive value because of overdominance, in which case MHC heterozygous individuals have increased fitness relative to homozygotes. Because of this potential benefit, the evolution of sexual reproduction between MHC-divergent individuals (i.e. negative assortative mating, NAM) may be favoured. However, the strongest evidence for MHC-based NAM comes from...
