MHC diversity and mate choice in the magellanic penguin, Spheniscus magellanicus.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Knafler Gabrielle J, Clark J Alan, Boersma P Dee, Bouzat Juan L

Abstract excerpt

We estimated levels of diversity at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DRß1 gene in 50 breeding pairs of the Magellanic penguin and compared those to estimates from Humboldt and Galapagos penguins. We tested for positive selection and 2 conditions required for the evolution of MHC-based disassortative mating: 1) greater MHC diversity between breeding pairs compared to random mating, and 2)...
