Sex-specific selection for MHC variability in Alpine chamois.

BMC evolutionary biology - 15 Feb 2012

Schaschl Helmut, Suchentrunk Franz, Morris David L, Ben Slimen Hichem, Smith Steve, Arnold Walter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In mammals, males typically have shorter lives than females. This difference is thought to be due to behavioural traits which enhance competitive abilities, and hence male reproductive success, but impair survival. Furthermore, in many species males usually show higher parasite burden than females. Consequently, the intensity of selection for genetic factors which reduce susceptibility to pathogens...
