Signals of positive selection in genomes of palearctic Myotis-bats coexisting with a fungal pathogen
Abstract Disease can act as a driving force in shaping genetic makeup across populations, even species, if the impacts influence a particularly sensitive part of their life cycles.White-nose disease is caused by a fungal pathogen infecting bats during hibernation.The mycosis has caused massive population declines of susceptible species in North Ame
