Is “cooling then freezing” a humane way to kill amphibians and reptiles?
Biology Open, 2015 What is the most humane way to kill amphibians and small reptiles that are used in research? Historically, such animals were often killed by cooling followed by freezing, but this method was outlawed by ethics committees because of concerns that ice ...

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.

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).
