A female signal reflects MHC genotype in a social primate.

BMC evolutionary biology - 7 Apr 2010

Huchard Elise, Raymond Michel, Benavides Julio, Marshall Harry, Knapp Leslie A, Cowlishaw Guy

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Males from many species are believed to advertise their genetic quality through striking ornaments that attract mates. Yet the connections between signal expression, body condition and the genes associated with individual quality are rarely elucidated. This is particularly problematic for the signals of females in species with conventional sex roles, whose evolutionary significance has received little...
