Fecal viral diversity of captive and wild Tasmanian devils characterized using virion-enriched metagenomics and metatranscriptomics
The Tasmanian devil is an endangered carnivorous marsupial threatened by devil facial

Founder relationships and conservation management: empirical kinships reveal the effect on breeding programmes when founders are assumed to be unrelated
Conservation breeding programmes have become widespread as natural habitats shrink,
and have been historically managed using pedigree data and an assumption that …

Conserving adaptive potential: lessons from Tasmanian devils and their transmissible cancer
Maintenance of adaptive genetic variation has long been a goal of management of natural
populations, but only recently have genomic tools allowed identification of specific loci …

Increasing generations in captivity is associated with increased vulnerability of Tasmanian devils to vehicle strike following release to the wild
Captive breeding of threatened species, for release to the wild, is critical for conservation.
This strategy, however, risks producing captive-raised animals with traits poorly suited to the …

Restoring faith in conservation action: Maintaining wild genetic diversity through the Tasmanian devil insurance program
Conservation breeding programs aim to maintain 90% wild genetic diversity, but rarely
assess functional diversity. Here, we compare both genome-wide and functional diversity (in …
