Intraspecific interference retards growth and development of cane toad tadpoles, but those effects disappear by the time of metamorphosis

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Competition among larval anurans can occur via interference as well as via a reduction in per-capita food supply. Previous research on intraspecific interference competition in cane toad (Rhinella marina) tadpoles found conflicting results, with one ...
