Allelic diversity and selection at the MHC class I and class II in a long-distance migratory shorebird, the Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica).

Immunogenetics - 26 May 2026

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a central role in vertebrate adaptive immunity by encoding receptors that recognize pathogen-derived antigens. Migratory shorebirds, such as the Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica), encounter diverse pathogen landscapes across a wide range of habitats along their migratory routes. Therefore, migratory birds are expected to maintain a robust and effective immune...
