Abstract Cancer is pervasive across multicellular species, but what explains the differences in cancer prevalence species? Using 16,049 necropsy records for 292 species spanning three clades of tetrapods (amphibians, sauropsids, and mammals), we found that neoplasia malignancy increases with adult mass (contrary to Peto’s paradox) somatic mutation rate decreases gestation time. The relationship between was only apparent when controlled Evolution susceptibility appears have undergone sudden...

Cancer is pervasive across multicellular species, but what explains differences in cancer prevalence species? Using 16,049 necropsy records for 292 species spanning three clades (amphibians, sauropsids and mammals) we found that neoplasia malignancy increases with adult weight (contrary to Petos Paradox) somatic mutation rate, decreases gestation time. Evolution of susceptibility appears have undergone sudden shifts followed by stabilizing selection. Outliers include the common porpoise...
