Modeling the Importance of Sample Size in Relation to Error in MHC-Based Mate-Choice Studies on Natural Populations.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Nov 2016

Hoover Brian, Nevitt Gabrielle

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of mate choice in natural populations is a challenging undertaking. Mechanistic investigations of neural and genetic exemplars must be interpreted in the context of population-level effects, and complex demographic and ecological processes that may mask MHC-based mate-choice effects. This is particularly exacerbated in highly polymorphic MHC-based mate choice studies, which require...
