MHC Reflects Fine-Scale Habitat Structure in White-Tailed Eagles, Haliaeetus albicilla.

The Journal of heredity - 15 Jul 2021

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes code for key immune receptors responsible for recognition of intra- and extracellular pathogens (MHC class I and class II, respectively). It was hypothesized that MHC polymorphism can be maintained via fluctuating selection resulting from between-habitat variation in pathogen regimes. We examined associations between MHC class I and class II genes and habitat...
