Feather chemicals contain information about the major histocompatibility complex in a highly scented seabird.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 25 May 2022

Abstract excerpt

Mate choice informed by the immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) may provide fitness benefits including offspring with increased immunocompetence. Olfactory cues are considered the primary mechanism organisms use to evaluate the MHC of potential mates, yet this idea has received limited attention in birds. Motivated by a finding of MHC-dependent mate choice in the Leach's storm-petrel...
