Standing host genetic variation typically protects in case of disease invasion, right? Well... Exploring implications of my new paper with @sabarra.bsky.social , a thread (1/5).

doi.org/10.1007/s002...
The figure is divided into a left panel titled "Resistance variation" and a right panel titled "Tolerance variation". The left panel shows a frog labeled "Disease-free" with a gold arrow labeled "R0 > 1" and "Invasion" leading to a frog with fungus shown on it labeled "Endemic". There is a purple arrow labeled "Evolution" and "R0<1" leading from the Endemic frog back to the Disease-free frog. The right panel is labeled "Tolerance variation" and has the same Disease-Free and Endemic frogs. There is a purple arrow labeled "R0<1" and "Failed Invasion" leading from the Disease-free frog and curving back to it. However, there is also a gold arrow that splits off from the purple arrow. The gold arrow is labeled "Evolution" and "R0>1" and leads to the endemic frog.
