Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Invasive species often experience phenotypic change during the invasion process. For example, many invasive species are larger in their non‐native than native ranges, but some invasive species experience body size declines with time since invasion.

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 9-20, January 2025.Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to document ophthalmic examination findings and provide reference values for ocular examinations and diagnostics in clinically normal Western tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium) and to evaluate the mydriatic effect of a topical rocuronium bromide and identify any adverse effects.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.We show that large floodplain monitors reach sexual maturity surprisingly rapidly, and females rarely live for more than 2 years. This fast life history requires novel reproductive strategies and high feeding rates, favouring the evolution of “risky” tactics such as consuming novel prey items (such as invasive toxic cane toads).

A Review of Theory: Comparing Invasion Ecology and Climate Change‐Induced Range Shifting
Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.We argue that scientists studying either non‐native invasions or climate change‐induced range shifting are interested in the same underlying mechanistic questions: (1) What species traits enable survival in a new location? and (2) Which recipient ecosystems are likely to support a newly arrived species?

Pheromones can cull an invasive amphibian without releasing survivors from intraspecific competition
Ecosphere, 2019 Attempts to cull an invasive species often create a paradoxical situation, whereby the consequent reduction in invader densities frees the survivors from intraspecific competition—and hence, increases the viability of those survivors.

Field trials of chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads (Rhinella marina) by older conspecifics
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Laboratory experiments have shown that the viability of embryos of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) can be reduced by exposure to chemical cues from older conspecific larvae.

Ventilatory behaviors of the toad Bufo marinus revealed by coherence analysis
Brazilian Journal of BiologyBreathing in amphibians is a remarkably complex behavior consisting of irregular breaths that may be taken singly or in bouts that are used to deflate and inflate the lungs.
