Rapid adaptation to a globally introduced virulent pathogen in a keystone species

2024-09-20

Abstract excerpt

Emerging infectious diseases are one of the foremost contemporary threats to biodiversity conservation. Outbreaks of novel pathogens can lead to extinction of host populations, loss of gene flow due to extirpation, and bottlenecks in host populations with surviving individuals. In outbreaks with survivors, pathogens can exert strong selection on hosts, in some cases leading to the evolution of resistance or tolera...
