![]() Here, we present a landscape genetic analysis in the last remaining uninfected parts of the Tasmanian devil’s geographic range to: describe population genetic structure, characterize genetic diversity, and test the influence of landscape variables on Tasmanian devil gene flow to assess the potential for disease spread. The Tasmanian devil is threatened with extinction by a nearly 100% fatal transmissible cancer, which has spread across 95% of the species’ geographic range in 20 years. Landscape genetics can be used as a tool to predict disease emergence and spread. ![]() ![]() Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly recognized in species’ declines and extinctions. ![]()
