Ongoing unraveling of a continental fauna: decline and extinction of Australian mammals since European settlement
JCZ Woinarski, AA Burbidge… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
The highly distinctive and mostly endemic Australian land mammal fauna has suffered an
extraordinary rate of extinction (> 10% of the 273 endemic terrestrial species) over the last∼ …

Mechanisms underlying host persistence following amphibian disease emergence determine appropriate management strategies
Emerging infectious diseases have caused many species declines, changes in communities
and even extinctions. There are also many species that persist following devastating …

Sociality, density‐dependence and microclimates determine the persistence of populations suffering from a novel fungal disease, white‐nose syndrome
Disease has caused striking declines in wildlife and threatens numerous species with
extinction. Theory suggests that the ecology and density‐dependence of transmission …

The evolution of two transmissible cancers in Tasmanian devils
Tasmanian devils have spawned two transmissible cancer lineages, named devil facial
tumor 1 (DFT1) and devil facial tumor 2 (DFT2). We investigated the genetic diversity and …

[HTML][HTML] Rapid evolutionary response to a transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils
Although cancer rarely acts as an infectious disease, a recently emerged transmissible
cancer in Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) is virtually 100% fatal. Devil facial tumour …

Quantifying 25 years of disease‐caused declines in Tasmanian devil populations: host density drives spatial pathogen spread
Infectious diseases are strong drivers of wildlife population dynamics, however, empirical
analyses from the early stages of pathogen emergence are rare. Tasmanian devil facial …
