Reduced MHC and neutral variation in the Galápagos hawk, an island endemic

BACKGROUND: Genes at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are known for high levels of polymorphism maintained by balancing selection. In small or bottlenecked populations, however, genetic drift may be strong enough to overwhelm the effect of balancing selection, resulting in reduced MHC vari...
