Elucidating the adaptive genetic potential of wildlife populations to environmental selective pressures is fundamental for species conservation. Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are highly polymorphic, and play a key role in the adaptive immune response against pathogens. MHC poly...

Elucidating the adaptive genetic potential of wildlife populations to environmental selective pressures is fundamental for species conservation.
