Haramura T, Crossland MR, Takeuchi H et al. · PloS one · 2017-11 · open access
Cane Toads (Rhinella marina) are invasive pests in many parts of the world, including the Japanese island of Ishigaki. Extensive research in Australia has identified promising new methods for control, but also has shown that toads exhibit geographic variation in many traits (suggesting that methods…
- The loneliness of the long-distance toad: invasion history and social attraction in cane toads ( Rhinella marina ).
Gruber J, Whiting MJ, Brown G et al. · Biology letters · 2017-11
- Is the behavioural divergence between range-core and range-edge populations of cane toads ( Rhinella marina ) due to evolutionary change or developmental plasticity?
Gruber J, Brown G, Whiting MJ et al. · Royal Society open science · 2017-10 · open access
Introduction Biological invasions impose novel ecological and evolutionary pressures. Individuals at the expanding range edge experience different demographic, physiological and environmental pressures than those faced by conspecifics from the range core, often leading to phenotypic divergence…

- Effects of invasion history on physiological responses to immune system activation in invasive Australian cane toads.
Selechnik D, West AJ, Brown GP et al. · PeerJ · 2017-10 · open access
The cane toad ( Rhinella marina ) has undergone rapid evolution during its invasion of tropical Australia. Toads from invasion front populations (in Western Australia) have been reported to exhibit a stronger baseline phagocytic immune response than do conspecifics from range core populations (in…

- Sex and weaponry: The distribution of toxin-storage glands on the bodies of male and female cane toads ( Rhinella marina ).
Chen W, Hudson CM, DeVore JL et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2017-09 · open access
Introduction Although they share many genes in common, males and females within a population often differ in a wide range of phenotypic traits. The most easily explained divergences involve characteristics with a direct role in reproductive biology, such as gonads, accessory glands, and…

- Invasive cane toads are unique in shape but overlap in ecological niche compared to Australian native frogs.
Vidal-García M, Keogh JS · Ecology and evolution · 2017-08 · open access
Invasive species are an important issue worldwide but predicting invasiveness, and the underlying mechanisms that cause it, is difficult. There are several primary hypotheses to explain invasion success. Two main hypothesis based on niche spaces stand out as alternative, although not exclusive. The…

Kosmala G, Christian K, Brown G et al. · Royal Society open science · 2017-07 · open access
Introduction Environmental conditions drive much of the variation in organismal performance, at a variety of ecological and evolutionary timescales. At one extreme, abiotic factors directly constrain the performance of individuals; and at the other extreme, thermal and hydric conditions can act as…
