Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumor Disease Many studies and research has gone into Tasmanian devil facial tumor disease, focusing on how it originated, how it is spread between the species, why it is so harmful and life threatening to the largest extant marsupials living, and what scientists are doing to stop it. Even though it seems like a simple disease to be taken care of, the overall effects of the disease are much more complex and life threating than they seem. There has been a dramatic loss in genetic
dissemination of the malignant disease known as Devil-Facial-Tumour-Disease (DFTD) which is spread through biting each other. The reproductive trends within Tasmanian Devils have had to adopt survival techniques such as early reproduction due to selective pressures which are precipitating the chance of death within the population. Both Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck have proposed theories of evolution which can be pertained towards the endangerment of the devils however, Darwin’s theory conveys
