Heterozygosity and survival in blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus): contrasting effects of presumably functional and neutral loci.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2011

Olano-Marin Juanita, Mueller Jakob C, Kempenaers Bart

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between genetic diversity and fitness has important implications in evolutionary and conservation biology. This relationship has been widely investigated at the individual level in studies of heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFC). General effects caused by inbreeding and/or local effects at single loci have been used as explanations of HFC, but the debate about the causes of HFC in open,...
