Although generalized habitat use may contribute to the success of invasive taxa, even species that are typically described as habitat generalists exhibit non-random patterns of habitat use. We measured abiotic and biotic factors in 42 plots (each 100

Highlights • Rhabdias hylae (frog) lungworms entered cane toads and migrated through the body but were not found in the target tissue, the lungs. • Larvae of both lungworm species induced inflammation in both types of hosts. • The immune respon

We investigated changes in the lymph (equivalent to plasma) and urine of the cocooning frog Cyclorana australis during the dry season in monsoonal northern Australia. Frogs in moist soil for two days were fully hydrated (lymph 220 mOsm kg(-1), urine

The primary ecological impact of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in Australia is mediated by their powerful toxins, which are fatal to many native species. Toads use roads as invasion corridors and feeding sites, resulting in frequent road-kill

Summary 1. Native to the Americas, cane toads Bufo marinus are an invasive species causing substantial ecological impacts in Australia. We need ways to control invasive species such as cane toads without collateral damage to native fauna. 2. We explo

Studies of evaporative water loss using streams of dry air in the laboratory have demonstrated reduced rates in various taxa of cocooned frogs. However, because the cocoon is formed in subterranean burrows with humid microclimates and no air flow, lo

1.Lineage-specific communication systems may offer innovative ways of targeting control measures at invasive species. 2.Recent work has identified such a scenario in invasive cane toads (Bufo marinus) in Australia: toad tadpoles flee from chemical cu

Methods for obtaining plasma from anurans are unsatisfactory in that they are inadequately described, are difficult to perform, or are lethal to the subject. A lymph extraction technique involving temporary ligation is described that enables sufficie

We examined burrow microclimate and cocoon formation of the burrowing frog, Cyclorana australis, from northern Australia, during the dormancy season by monitoring frogs in burrows in the field. At the beginning of the dry season, while the soils were

Despite widespread concern about the ecological impacts of invasive species, mechanisms of impact remain poorly understood. Cane toads (Chaunus [Bufo] marinus) were introduced to Queensland in 1935, and have now spread across much of tropical Austral
