Mate Choice Decisions of Stickleback Females Predictably Modified by MHC Peptide Ligands

Sexual selection has been proposed as one mechanism to explain the maintenance of high allelic diversity in MHC genes that control the extent of resistance against pathogens and parasites in natural populations. MHC-based sexual selection is known to involve olfactory mechanisms in fish, mice, and h...
