Polymorphism, haplotype composition, and selection in the Mhc-DRB of wild baboonsElise Huchard
CNRS, Institut des Sciences de l Evolution, Universite Montpellier 2, CC 065, Place Eugene Bataillon, 34095, Montpellier Cedex 05, France
Immunogenetics 60:585-98. 2008..Our results suggest that selection favoring haplotypes with complementary sets of DRB supertypes shapes functionally tuned haplotypes in this natural baboon population...
Molecular study of Mhc-DRB in wild chacma baboons reveals high variability and evidence for trans-species inheritanceElise Huchard
Equipe Génétique et Environnement, Institut des Sciences de l Evolution CNRS UMR 5554, Université Montpellier II CC 65, Place Eugene Bataillon, Montpellier, France
Immunogenetics 58:805-16. 2006..Evidence for trans-species inheritance of some Mhc-DRB sequences comes from high identity between the new Paur-DRB sequences and sequences from Papio cynocephalus, Macaca mulatta and possibly Galago moholi...
MHC, mate choice and heterozygote advantage in a wild social primateElise Huchard
CNRS UMR5554, Place Eugene Bataillon, CC 065, 34 095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France
Mol Ecol 19:2545-61. 2010..We propose that high levels of within-group outbreeding, resulting from group-living and sex-biased dispersal, might weaken selection for MHC-disassortative mate choice...
A female signal reflects MHC genotype in a social primateElise Huchard
Institut des Sciences de l Evolution, Universite Montpellier 2, Place Eugene Bataillon, CC 065, 34 095 Montpellier Cedex 05, France
BMC Evol Biol 10:96. 2010....
From parasite encounter to infection: multiple-scale drivers of parasite richness in a wild social primate populationJulio A Benavides
CNRS Institut des Sciences de l Evolution, Universite Montpellier II, Place Eugene Bataillon, France
Am J Phys Anthropol 147:52-63. 2012..These findings indicate that a range of factors influence host parasite richness through both encounter and infection probabilities but that individual-level processes may be more important than those at the group or population level...
Can fertility signals lead to quality signals? Insights from the evolution of primate sexual swellingsElise Huchard
CNRS Institut des Sciences de l Evolution, Universite Montpellier 2, Place Eugene Bataillon, CC 065, 34 095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France
Proc Biol Sci 276:1889-97. 2009..More generally, our findings suggest that mate choice for direct benefits (fertility) can lead to indirect benefits (good genes)...
Detective mice assess relatedness in baboons using olfactory cuesAurelie Celerier
University Montpellier II, Place Eugene Bataillon, 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France
J Exp Biol 213:1399-405. 2010..The 'biological olfactometer' developed in this study offers new perspectives to the exploration of olfactory signals from a range of species...
