Negative frequency-dependent selection on MHC uncovered by an emergent parasite

High polymorphism of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes that encode proteins crucial for adaptive immunity of vertebrates have been long hypothesized to be maintained by negative frequency-dependent selection resulting from …

Spread of parasitic frozen hybrids on the Caribbean island

To understand the dynamics of host-pathogens coevolution and its epidemiological consequences, we need to know how new races of invasive parasites emerge. In our recent work, published in Molecular Ecology …

Genomic signatures of adaptive evolution in Gyrodactylus bullatarudis

Genomic analyses reveal adaptive evolution of the fish ectoparasite, Gyrodactylus bullatarudis that is shaped by the combination of gene duplications, divergence and recombination. In a paper by Konczal et al. published …

Mating preferences can drive expansion or contraction of major histocompatibility complex gene family.

In a series of commuter simulations described in a paper recently published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Jacek Radwan and Piotr Benkowski reveal unexpected potential of MHC-based mating …

Advances in the Evolutionary Understanding of MHC Polymorphism

A paper by Radwan et al. (2020)  published in Trends in Genetics reviews mechanisms explaining landmark features of MHC genes, including their extreme polymorphism, and identifies open questions in MHC …

Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments

The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. A fascinating article, recently published in Ecology Letters, suggests that dung beetle species with more competition among males for mating …
