Patterns of nonindigenous herpetofaunal richness and biotic homogenization among Florida counties

KG Smith - Biological Conservation, 2006 - Elsevier
Recent studies of geographic patterns of nonindigenous species richness suggest that a few
key biogeographic and anthropogenic factors explain much of the variation in the richness of …

Impact of the invasive cane toad (Bufo marinus) on an Australian frog (Opisthodon ornatus) depends on minor variation in reproductive timing

MR Crossland, RA Alford, R Shine - Oecologia, 2009 - Springer

Intraspecific interference retards growth and development of cane toad tadpoles, but those effects disappear by the time of metamorphosis

MR Crossland, R Shine - Royal Society Open Science, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Competition among larval anurans can occur via interference as well as via a reduction in
per-capita food supply. Previous research on intraspecific interference competition in cane …

A nonautonomous juvenile-adult model: well-posedness and long-time behavior via a comparison principle

AS Ackleh, K Deng - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2009 - SIAM
A nonautonomous nonlinear continuous juvenile-adult model where juveniles and adults
depend on different resources is developed. It is assumed that juveniles are structured by …
