Extensive population decline in the Tasmanian devil predates European settlement and devil facial tumour disease.

Biology letters - 1 Nov 2014

Abstract excerpt

The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) was widespread in Australia during the Late Pleistocene but is now endemic to the island of Tasmania. Low genetic diversity combined with the spread of devil facial tumour disease have raised concerns for the species' long-term survival. Here, we investigate the origin of low genetic diversity by inferring the species' demographic history using temporal sampling with...
