The cane toads failed to control the beetle population, and they reproduced rapidly and flourished. The country’s cane toad population now numbers in the millions and covers most of northeastern Australia. The toads are advancing westward by 40–60 km (25–40 miles) per year. In response, ...
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

Cane toads tolerate a broad range of environmental and climatic conditions and appear to be able to adjust and survive in almost any environment system, including sea water for short penods of time. This to a large extent explains their success in their spreading in Australia. Cane toads are ...
Cane toads (Rhinella marina) have been spreading across Australia since the late 1930s, evolving novel morphologies and behaviours that have accelerated their rate of dispersal3. These traits include faster individual growth rates, increased relative leg length and higher endurance4,5 in toads at the...
Variation in parotoid size may be driven at least partly by phenotypic plasticity; exposure to predation cues during larval life stimulated recently metamorphosed cane toads in Australia to develop larger parotoid glands29. However, subsequent work in which we have raised toads to maturity revealed...

We develop an eDNA molecular assay for invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in Australia, validate our assay on the mainland, and apply it to an offshore island (Moreton Island) that is a target of ongoing cane toad surveillance. Our eDNA assay correctly identified four mainland sites at ...
