Context-dependent associations between heterozygosity and immune variation in a wild carnivore.

BMC evolutionary biology - 4 Nov 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A multitude of correlations between heterozygosity and fitness proxies associated with disease have been reported from wild populations, but the genetic basis of these associations is unresolved. We used a longitudinal dataset on wild Galapagos sea lions (Zalophus wollebaeki) to develop a relatively new perspective on this problem, by testing for associations between heterozygosity and immune...
