Temporal or evolutionary changes in the effects of invasive competitors on native species
have not been studied in great depth. In this study, we explored possible modifications in the …

As part of a monitoring program to study the distribution of native frogs and toads and the
introduced Cuban treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) invasion, PVC pipe refugia were …

More than 80% of animals have complex life cycles and undergo distinct changes in ecology
and morphology during development. The strength and type of factors regulating each life …

Understanding negative effects of native species on introduced taxa may suggest novel
ways to control the invasive species by enhancing such effects. Previous studies have …

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) forms part of the Puerto Rican Bank and its fauna is closely
related to that of the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Humans have inhabited the region …

Amphibian populations worldwide have been declining for decades, largely due to habitat
destruction, water pollution, and introduced species. Wetland impacts are often the cause of …

Invasive species are a major focus within conservation biology. The widely introduced Cane
Toad, Rhinella marina, has attracted particular interest in studies of the effects of invasive …

This paper examines the hypothesis that Triturus v. vittatus adapts to different breeding sites
by changing the duration and rate of larval growth. Ecological and biological conditions of …

The use of cavities provides many benefits to frogs, such as predator avoidance,
thermoregulation, breeding sites, and osmoregulation (Stewart and Rand 1991 …

Reproductive interference is increasingly implicated in the decline of native taxa following
alien species invasions. We examined reproductive interference in the context of acoustic …
