Heterozygosity is unrelated to adult fitness measures in a large, noninbred population of great tits (Parus major).

The extent to which heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) are expected in wild populations is an important and unresolved question in evolutionary biology, because it relates to our understanding of the genetic architecture of fitness. Here, we report a study of HFCs in a wild, noninbred popula...
