Very high MHC Class IIB diversity without spatial differentiation in the mediterranean population of greater Flamingos

Table 2 Number of alleles for MHC Class IIB exon2 relative to the number of loci and individuals genotyped in non-passerine birds reported in the literature with 100 or more individuals genotyped, showing species name (common name and Latin name), number of individuals genotyped in the study, maximum number of loci based on the maximum number alleles found within an individual in the population, number of alleles found in the study, the ratio between number of alleles and number of individuals, the ratio between number of alleles, number of individuals and number of loci, whether the species is migratory and/or long distance disperser and the citation of the study

^aNot migratory in the studied population but makes nomadic dispersal movements according to changing water levels and seasonal rainfall. Also fully migratory in other parts of the species distribution
