Positive selection and climatic effects on MHC class II gene diversity in hares (Lepus capensis) from a steep ecological gradient

In natural populations, allelic diversity of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is commonly interpreted as resulting from positive selection in varying spatiotemporal pathogenic landscapes. Composite pathogenic landscape data are, however, rarely available. We studied the spatial distributio...
