Life-history change in disease-ravaged Tasmanian devil populationsMenna E Jones
School of Zoology, University of Tasmania, Hobart TAS 7001, Australia
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:10023-7. 2008..The persistence of both this disease and the associated life-history changes pose questions about longer-term evolutionary responses and conservation prospects for this iconic species...
