Evidence that disease-induced population decline changes genetic structure and alters dispersal patterns in the Tasmanian devil.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2011

Lachish S, Miller K J, Storfer A, Goldizen A W, Jones M E

Abstract excerpt

Infectious disease has been shown to be a major cause of population declines in wild animals. However, there remains little empirical evidence on the genetic consequences of disease-mediated population declines, or how such perturbations might affect demographic processes such as dispersal. Devil...
