Limited associations between MHC diversity and reproductive success in a bird species with biparental care

Abstract The selective pressure from pathogens on individuals can have direct consequences on reproduction. Genes from the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are central to the vertebrate adaptive immune system and pathogen resistance. In species with biparental care, each sex has distinct repro...
