Contemporary and historical selection in Tasmanian devils ( <i>Sarcophilus harrisii</i> ) support novel, polygenic response to transmissible cancer

2020-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Tasmanian devils ( Sarcophilus harrisii ) are evolving in response to a unique transmissible cancer, devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), first described in 1996. Persistence of wild populations and the recent emergence of a second independently evolved transmissible cancer suggest that transmissible cancers may be a recurrent feature in devils. Here we compared signatures of selection across temporal scales to de...
