High MHC diversity confers no advantage for phenotypic quality and reproductive performance in a wild bird
1. Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encode antigen‐binding molecules and are an integral part of the acquired immune response of vertebrates. In general, high individual MHC diversity is expected to increase fitness by broadening the spectrum of pathogens recognized by the immune...
