    Wild cyclic voles maintain high neutral and MHC diversity without strong evidence for parasite-mediated selection

  • Original language description

    The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an important component of vertebrate immune defense involved with self/nonself recognition and disease susceptibility. The high variability of genes of the MHC is thought to arise from both parasite-mediatedand sexual selection. An outstanding question involves the degree to which balancing selection can oppose genetic drift to maintain high MHC diversity in the face of population bottlenecks. To address this question we examined genetic diversity and population structure at neutral (microsatellite) and MHC genes in montane voles [Microtus montanus (Peale, 1848)] subject to high amplitude population fluctuations, and compared these to measures of infection by common gastrointestinal parasites. We found high neutral and MHC allelic variability, indicating low impacts of genetic drift despite large fluctuations in population size. Greater MHC diversity did not predict lower parasite richness or infection by the two most common endoparasites
