Evidence for sexual conflict over major histocompatibility complex diversity in a wild songbird
Sex differences in parasite load and immune responses are found across a wide range of animals, with females generally having lower parasite loads and stronger immune responses than males. Intrigued by these general patterns, we investigated if there was any sign of sex-specific selection on an esse...
