Inbreeding depression in one of the last DFTD-free wild populations of Tasmanian devils

2019-09-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Vulnerable species experiencing inbreeding depression are prone to localised extinctions because of their reduced fitness. For Tasmanian devils, the rapid spread of devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) has led to population declines and fragmentation across the species’ range. Here we show that one of the few remaining DFTD-free populations of Tasmanian devils is experiencing inbreeding depress...
