MHC Variability of a Small Lemur in the Littoral Forest Fragments of Southeastern Madagascar (2004, background): “A differing number of DRB alleles in separate populations of the same species is not unusual (Hedrick et al. 2001a, b).”
MHC studies in nonmodel vertebrates: what have we learned about natural selection in 15 years? (2003, background): “…emerging that differentiation at loci potentially under selection provides much better information on the structure of adaptive variation among populations, and is therefore of more interest than neutral differentiation for defining conservation units (Miller et al., 2001; Hedrick et al., 2001a).”
Rapid evolutionary dynamics and disease threats to biodiversity (2003, background): “pathogens [ 25 ,84], and that high allelic diversity at MHC loci combined with relatively equal allelic frequencies provides strong”
Genetic Consequences of Habitat Fragmentation in Black-and-Gold Howler (Alouatta caraya) Populations from Northern Argentina (2010, background): “Disease and parasite resistance have been related to genetic diversity in a range of animal species, i.e., fish ( Hedrick et al. 2001; Lively et al. 1990) and sheep (Coltman et al. 1999).”
Does Inbreeding and Loss of Genetic Diversity Decrease Disease Resistance? (2004, background): “…a growing number of cases where diseases have harmed endangered species (e.g., Warner 1968; Dobson and May 1986; van Riper et al. 1986; O’Brien and Evermann 1988; Thorne and Williams 1988; Jacobsen et al. 1991; Lyles and Dobson 1993; Real 1996; Hedrick et al. 2001; Acevedo-Whitehouse et al. 2003).”
The evolutionary ecology of the major histocompatibility complex (2006, background): “In Gila topminnows (Poeciliopsis o. occidentalis), MHC heterozygotes enjoyed a 15.5% higher survival relative to homozygotes following infection with an exotic fluke (Hedrick et al, 2001).”
The effects of carotenoid and food availability on resistance to a naturally occurring parasite (Gyrodactylus turnbulli) in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) (2006, background): “Parasite resis tance may evolve in response to a variety of biotic and abiotic factors which may vary among populations (Lyles, 1990; Hamilton & Poulin, 1999; Gleeson, McCallum, & Owens, 2000; Hedrick et al., 2001).”
