- •
Female house mice use genetic markers to choose closely related nesting partners
- •
They strongly prefer partners sharing their own major urinary protein (MUP) genotype
- •
Without MUP sharing, partners sharing multiple loci across the genome are preferred
- •
MHC sharing is not used; instead, MUP provides a species-specific kinship marker
