Signals of positive selection in Palearctic bat species coexisting with a fungal pathogen

2023-12-05

Abstract excerpt

Traits that directly influence the survival of an organism are suspect to positive selection. Disease can act as a driving force in shaping the genetic makeup across populations, even species, if the impacts are influencing a particularly sensitive part of their life cycles. White-nose syndrome is a fungal disease that affects bats during hibernation. The mycosis has caused massive population declines of susceptib...
