Neighbour-joining tree of amino acid sequences for MHC class I and II from different Charadriiformes. For MHC class I, four species are represented (Snowy Plover (Chni), Black-tailed Godwit (Lili), Red Knot (Caca) and Red-billed Gull (Lasc)) and (b) MHC class II represented by eight species (Snowy Plover (Chni), Black-tailed Godwit (Lili), Ruff (Phpu), Great Snipe (Game), Black-legged Kittiwake (Ritr), Razorbill (Alto), Common Murre (Uraa) and Atlantic Puffin (Frar)). Long alleles are indicated by a white square, non-classical alleles with a black square. The homologous MHC sequences of the chicken Gallus gallus (Gaga-HQ141386 and Gaga-BLB2) served as an outgroup
