Male mate choice relies on major histocompatibility complex class I in a sex-role-reversed pipefish.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2014

Roth O, Sundin J, Berglund A, Rosenqvist G, Wegner K M

Abstract excerpt

Mate choice for compatible genes is often based on genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Although MHC-based mate choice is commonly observed in female choice, male mate choice remains elusive. In particular, if males have intense paternal care and are thus the choosing sex, male ch...
