  37. <meta content="“Good genes” are genetic elements that contribute
  38. to lifetime reproductive success, regardless of an individual’s
  39. additional genotype. Their existence is debated,
  40. and most work has targeted their viability benefits to the
  41. offspring of choosy females. In the present study, we analyze
  42. a case of potential good genes effects in adult male
  43. sand lizards (Lacerta agilis). We show that males with a
  44. particular RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism)
  45. MHC genotype (O-males), as opposed to those
  46. that lack this genetic element (NO-males), have less ectoparasites
  47. under increasing physiological stress (indexed
  48. by baseline corticosterone level), and are not constrained
  49. by parasites at production of status coloration. Furthermore,
  50. O-males are more successful at mate acquisition and
  51. guard their partners longer. Ultimately, they have a higher
  52. genetic reproductive success as assigned by microsatellites.

  284. to lifetime reproductive success, regardless of an individual’s&#13;
  285. additional genotype. Their existence is debated,&#13;
  286. and most work has targeted their viability benefits to the&#13;
  287. offspring of choosy females. In the present study, we analyze&#13;
  288. a case of potential good genes effects in adult male&#13;
  289. sand lizards (Lacerta agilis). We show that males with a&#13;
  290. particular RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism)&#13;
  291. MHC genotype (O-males), as opposed to those&#13;
  292. that lack this genetic element (NO-males), have less ectoparasites&#13;
  293. under increasing physiological stress (indexed&#13;
  294. by baseline corticosterone level), and are not constrained&#13;
  295. by parasites at production of status coloration. Furthermore,&#13;
  296. O-males are more successful at mate acquisition and&#13;
  297. guard their partners longer. Ultimately, they have a higher&#13;
  298. genetic reproductive success as assigned by microsatellites.&#13;
