Heterozygosity is unrelated to adult fitness measures in a large, noninbred population of great tits (Parus major).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Aug 2011

Chapman J R, Sheldon B C

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) are expected in wild populations is an important and unresolved question in evolutionary biology, because it relates to our understanding of the genetic architecture of fitness. Here, we report a study of HFCs in a wild, noninbred population of great tits (Parus major), based on a sample comprising 281 individuals typed at 26 markers, resulting in a...
