Recovery of a nearly extinct Galápagos tortoise despite minimal genetic variation.

abstract：:Cancer is a widespread disease that affects most of the metazoans. However, cancer development is a slow process and, long before causing the death of the individual, may weaken organisms' capacities and impair their interactions with other species. Yet, the impact of cancer development on biotic interactions, and ove...
