Table 1. Summary of previous studies testing associations between MHC diversity and both fitness and phenotypic traits. NGS is short for Next Generation Sequencing.
Note: MHC-fitness association and MHC-trait association were consistent* or inconsistent‡
Table 2. Number of records of phenotypic traits used in our study. Sample sizes for adult traits are shown as N records or N records / N individuals. Years of measurement are shown in brackets.
