Sex and hatching order modulate the association between MHC-II diversity and fitness in early-life stages of a wild seabird.

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play a pivotal role in parasite resistance, and their allelic diversity has been associated with fitness variations in several taxa. However, studies report inconsistencies in the direction of this association, with either positive, quadratic or no association being described. These discrepancies may arise because the fitness costs and benefits of MHC diversity...
