Evolution of immune genes in island birds: reduction in population sizes can explain island syndrome

M. Barthe, C. Doutrelant, R. Covas, M. Melo, J. C. Illera, M.-K. Tilak, C. Colombier, T. Leroy, C. Loiseau, B. Nabholz

This study investigates immune gene evolution in island birds, finding demographic effects reduce genetic diversity and selection efficacy, but relaxed selection due to reduced parasite pressure is only evident in some immune gene categories.
