Preen secretions encode information on MHC similarity in certain sex-dyads in a monogamous seabird
Animals are known to select mates to maximize the genetic diversity of their offspring in order to achieve immunity against a broader range of pathogens. Although several bird species preferentially mate with partners that are dissimilar at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), it remains unkn...
