Divergent and non-parallel evolution of MHC IIB in the Neotropical Midas cichlid species complex

Divergent and non-parallel evolution of MHC IIB in the Neotropical Midas cichlid species complex

Abstract Background Ecological diversification is the result of divergent natural selection by contrasting habitat characteristics that favours the evolution of distinct phenotypes. This process can happen in sympatry and in allopatry. Habitat-specific parasite communities have the potential to driv...
