A quantitative review of MHC-based mating preference: the role of diversity and dissimilarity.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2014

Kamiya T, O'Dwyer K, Westerdahl H, Senior A, Nakagawa S

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection hypotheses stipulate that the major histocompatibility complex genes (MHC) constitute a key molecular underpinning for mate choice in vertebrates. The last four decades saw growing empirical literature on the role of MHC diversity and dissimilarity in mate choice for a wide range of vertebrate animals, but with mixed support for its significance in natural populations. Using formal phylogenetic...
