• Blood ties: ABO is a trans-species polymorphism in primates (2012, positive): “The most famous examples are the self-incompatibility loci in plants and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in vertebrates.”
• Parasite diversity, patterns of MHC II variation and olfactory based mate choice in diverging three-spined stickleback ecotypes (2011, background): “…found in vertebrates: this high intra- and inter-individual polymorphism is thought to be maintained by negative frequency-dependent selection, heterozygote advantage and habitat heterogeneity mediated by parasites (for review see Apanius et al. 1997; Milinski 2006; Spurgin and Richardson 2010).”
