Adaptive potential in the face of a transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils

2024-04-09

Abstract excerpt

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) cause catastrophic declines in wildlife populations, but 2 also generate selective pressures that may result in rapid evolutionary responses. One such EID 3 is devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) in the Tasmanian devil. DFTD is almost always fatal, 4 which likely causes strong selection for traits that reduce susceptibility to the disease, but 5 population decline has also left T...
