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 facial tumour disease (DFTD) has resulted in the rapid decline of the Tasmanian devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, and...
