Major histocompatibility complex variation in insular populations of the Egyptian vulture: inferences about the roles of genetic drift and selection.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2011

Agudo Rosa, Alcaide Miguel, Rico Ciro, Lemus Jesus A, Blanco Guillermo, Hiraldo Fernando, Donázar Jose A

Abstract excerpt

Insular populations have attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists because of their morphological and ecological peculiarities with respect to their mainland counterparts. Founder effects and genetic drift are known to distribute neutral genetic variability in these demes. However, elucidating whether these evolutionary forces have also shaped adaptive variation is crucial to evaluate the real impact of...
