The last few years have seen a surge of interest from field ecologists and evolutionary
biologists to study neoplasia and cancer in wildlife. This contributes to the One Health …

While most cancers are not transmissible, there are rare cases where cancer cells can
spread between individuals and even across species, leading to epidemics. Despite their …

Ecology and biogeography of bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN) are underexplored due
to its recent discovery and a challenging diagnostics. Blue mussels harbour two evolutionary …

Cancer is a biological process that emerged at the end of the Precambrian era with the rise
of multicellular organisms. Traditionally, cancer has been viewed primarily as a disease …

Tumoural processes, ubiquitous phenomena in multicellular organisms, influence
evolutionary trajectories of all species. To gain a holistic understanding of their impact on …

Human transport of species across oceans disrupts natural dispersal barriers and facilitates
hybridization between previously allopatric species. The recent introduction of the North …

Transmissible cancers are a rare phenomenon in which cancer cells are passed between
individuals, leading to the development of neoplasia in the host organism. Transmissible …
