Larval interactions with an invasive species (the Cane ToadRhinella marina) affect life-history traits in an Australian anuran (the Marbled FrogLimnodynastes convexiusculus)

Abstract: The viability of a metamorph anuran can be influenced by its body size and the time it has taken to complete larval development. In a laboratory experiment, we show that the presence of tadpoles of the invasive Cane Toad Rhinella marina causes tadpoles of a native frog (Marbled Frog Limnodynastes convexiusculus) to metamorphose later and at smaller sizes. These effects may render frog metamorphs more vulnerable to desiccation and predation, but render them less vulnerable to Cane Toads. Marbled Frogs prey upon… Show more
