Strong correlation between phenotype and impact within the native species raises the possibility of rapid adaptive response to the invader. Here, we examine the impact of a dangerous newly arrived prey species (the highly toxic cane toad Bufo marinus) on na?ve predators (death adders Acanthophis...

The issue is that Australia has no native toad species, so none of the predators(食肉动物)knew how to avoid the toxic toads. As the cane toads advanced east to west across the continent, "they left a wake of dead animals in their paths, "says Sean Doody, an ecologist at the University...
of which there are many; they are present in 138 countries. Since the toad was introduced in Queensland for control of the cane beetle in 1935, it has spread widely—millions of toads now occupy more than 1.2 million square kilometres. It fatally poisons native species like the northern...
Second, the assemblage of native species, and the local abiotic (thermal, hydric) conditions in this region are very different from those in tropical Australia, so that local frogs might take up the “toad-specific” lungworm species (as does at least one tropical tree-frog taxon, at least ...
The cane toad (also known as the bufo, giant or marine toad) is a large, nonnative amphibian that has been introduced into Florida. Cane toads are considered an invasive species and are poisonous to most animals that try to bite or consume them. Cane toads are not protected in Florida exc...

To test these ideas, we measured the sizes of parotoid glands in field-caught cane toads from the species’ native range in South America, as well as invasive populations on three Hawai’ian Islands and in four regions of Australia. Because climates diverge between windward and leeward shores...
