Heterozygosity-fitness correlations revealed by neutral and candidate gene markers in roe deer from a long-term study.
Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) are increasingly reported but the underlying mechanisms causing HFCs are generally poorly understood. Here, we test for HFCs in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) using 22 neutral microsatellites widely distributed in the genome and four microsatellites in gene...
