as buffo toads, are yet another invasive(入侵) species that has found a hospitable home in warm southern Florida. Deliberately introduced from South and Central America in the 1930s they were supposed to control beetles damaging the sugarcane crop-that's how they got the name "cane toads". ...

as the movement of a new species into an area can have a significant, and sometimes detrimental, effect on that area's ecology. When studying dispersal rates of cane toads in Australia, Tom Lindstrom of
southernTexas, is a poisonous species with few natural predators. It was introduced into Australia in the 1930s from Hawaii to reduce the effects of beetles onsugarcaneplantations. Cane toads are responsible for a variety of ills, such aspopulationdeclines in native prey species (beesand other ...
Invasive species In 1935, at the request of sugarcane plantation owners, the government released about 2,400 cane toads into north Queensland to help control cane beetles, which eat the roots of sugarcane. Because they have no natural predators in Australia, will eat almost anything, and reproduc...
Why are cane toads in Australia considered an invasive species? What adaptations do rabbits have to survive? What type of bats live in the Amazon rainforest? What year were cane toads introduced to Australia? What eats salamanders? Where do African bullfrogs live?
摘要: 1. If a species is translocated outside its native range, some of its traits (evolved to match conditions in the ancestral range) likely will be maladaptive. Identifying ways in which the invader are poorly suited to its new range might provide novel opportunities for biocontrol.关键词:...

“We drop those baits just before the frontline arrives, and then when the cane toads do arrive, that animal won’t go for a cane toad because it’s already tried a sausage and felt sick,” said Sara McAllister, an invasive species project officer from the Western Australia Department of...
