Rapid geographic divergence in competitive ability of cane toad larvae (Rhinella marina) during a biological invasion. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Low population densities at the expanding edge of a biological invasion are predicted to reduce intraspecific competition such that invading organisms evolve to prioritize adaptations for rapid rates of population growth and dispersal over those that facilitate success in competitive interactions.

Divergent Selection on Dispersal Targets Chemosensory and Neuronal Genes in Tribolium castaneum. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Dispersal is key to the life history, ecology and evolution of many organisms and important in pest invasiveness. However, the genetic architecture underlying variation in dispersal behaviour remains poorly understood outside of a few model species.

Locomotor performance of cane toads differs between native-range and invasive populations [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Invasive species provide a robust opportunity to evaluate how animals deal with novel environmental challenges. Shifts in locomotor performance—and thus the ability to disperse—(and especially, the degree to which it is constrained by thermal and hydric ...

Arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and disturbed seasonal tropical forest [PDF]
, 2003 We investigated the relationship between arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and landscape transformation in tropical forests of southeastern Campeche, Mexico. We surveyed frogs in six distinct habitats: slash and burn agriculture, seasonally flooded forest (

Signal transmission through the dark-adapted retina of the toad (Bufo marinus). Gain, convergence, and signal/noise. [PDF]
, 1990 Responses to light were recorded from rods, horizontal cells, and ganglion cells in dark-adapted toad eyecups. Sensitivity was defined as response amplitude per isomerization per rod for dim flashes covering the excitatory receptive field centers.
