MHC-disassortative mate choice and inbreeding avoidance in a solitary primate.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2013

Huchard Elise, Baniel Alice, Schliehe-Diecks Susanne, Kappeler Peter M

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection theory suggests that choice for partners carrying dissimilar genes at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) may play a role in maintaining genetic variation in animal populations by limiting inbreeding or improving the immunity of future offspring. However, it is often difficult to establish whether the observed MHC dissimilarity among mates drives mate choice or represents a by-product of...
