in order to control beetles that were infesting sugar cane. Since then, cane toad populations have spread widely, and the toads, which secrete a toxin, disrupt the native ecology. In order to predict how cane toad populations will shift in response toenvironmental stressors, scientists...
Temporal and spatial differences in activity of frogs versus toads, plus the abundance of suitable retreat sites during the wet season (the primary time of frog activity), suggest that avoiding toad scent will have only a minor impact on the behaviour of native frogs. However, this behavioural ...
flies and beetles are attracted to this artificial light. These invertebrates arefood sourcesfor nocturnal predators such as bats, birds and frogs—including what is perhaps the most iconic invasive species of all time, the cane toad.
Australian Cane Toad essaysThe cane toad, Bufo marinus, or giant toad, was introduced to Australia by the sugar cane industry with government sanction, in order to control two specific pests of sugar cane. The grey backed cane beetle and the frenchie bee
