It was suggested that the higher frequencies of common transferrin allele in female voles and male mice might indicate different selection in each sex of the two genera (as a result of different reproduction strategies). The increase in heterozygote number causing the decrease in common transferrin allele frequencies were observed during late summer in all three species.
