Pathogen-associated selection on innate immunity genes (TLR4 TLR7) in a neotropical rodent in landscapes differing in anthropogenic disturbance

摘要

Study sites in continuous forests (landscape C) on large peninsulas around Gatun Lake are labeled in green, study sites on forested islands (landscape I) surrounded by water are marked in blue, and forest fragments in an agricultural matrix situated in the vicinity of human settlements and roads (landscape A) are in yellow. The distance between the study sites of landscapes C + I and A is approximately 25 km. The current terrestrial fauna of the islands is probably descended from individuals inhabiting the area before isolation. Occasional re-colonization by animals floating on plant material from neighboring islands or the mainland might also have occurred. The figure was created with QGIS 2.18 (QGIS Development Team 2016).
