MHC variation reflects the bottleneck histories of New Zealand passerines.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2015

Sutton Jolene T, Robertson Bruce C, Jamieson Ian G

Abstract excerpt

Most empirical evidence suggests that balancing selection does not counter the effects of genetic drift in shaping postbottleneck major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genetic diversity when population declines are severe or prolonged. However, few studies have been able to include data from historical specimens, or to compare populations/species with different bottleneck histories. In this study, we examined...
