MHC Genetic Variation Influences both Olfactory Signals and Scent Discrimination in Ring-Tailed Lemurs

2018-06-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Diversity at the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is critical to health and fitness, such that MHC genotype may predict an individual’s quality or compatibility as a competitor, ally, or mate. Moreover, because MHC products can influence the components of bodily secretions, an individual’s body odor may signal its MHC and influence partner identification or mate choice. To investigate MHC-...
