Susceptibility to a sexually-transmitted disease in a wild koala population shows heritable genetic variance but no inbreeding depression

2022-07-25

Abstract excerpt

The koala, one of the most iconic Australian wildlife species, is facing several concomitant threats that are driving population declines. Some threats are well known and have clear methods of prevention (e.g. habitat loss can be reduced with stronger land-clearing control), whereas others are less easily addressed. One of the major current threats to koalas is chlamydial disease, which can have major impacts on i...
