Mhc-linked survival and lifetime reproductive success in a wild population of great tits.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2013

Sepil Irem, Lachish Shelly, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) genes are frequently used as a model for adaptive genetic diversity. Although associations between Mhc and disease resistance are frequently documented, little is known about the fitness consequences of Mhc variation in wild populations. Further, most work to date has involved testing associations between Mhc genotypes and fitness components. However, the functional...
