Abstract
AbstractHow does amphibian MHC diversity fit in the landscape of vertebrate evolution? Mimnias et al. (2022) address this gap in the field of MHC evolution by focusing on the lesser described MHC class I in salamanders. These findings contribute to understanding MHC diversity and the susceptibility of amphibians to pathogens, which could lead to future research on a major threat to amphibian biodiversity, chytrid fungi.
