What mandrills leave behind: using fecal samples to characterize the major histocompatibility complex in a threatened primate

2024-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) can be useful in guiding conservation planning because of its influence on immunity, fitness, and reproductive ecology in vertebrates. The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a threatened primate endemic to central Africa. Considerable research in this species has shown that the MHC is important for disease resistance, mate choice, and reproductive success. However, all previ...
