Exotic species are often vilified as “bad” without consideration of the potential they have for
contributing to ecological functions in degraded ecosystems. The red-eared slider turtle …

The increasing consumption of medications by humans has negative effects such as the
increased disposal of these compounds in the environment. Little is known about how the …

Simple Summary Turtles have been on Earth for 300 million years, but their survival has
been challenged as human activity has expanded. The results of a census and statistical …

The coexistence of species in a given community depends on the set of species involved
and the timing of their interactions. Many native communities are increasingly forced to face …

Semiochemicals, such as sex pheromones or predator kairomones, trigger inter-and
intraspecific interactions among animals. With more than 7500 species, frogs (Anura) are a …

Non-native species have numerous and significant, often negative, effects on amphibians,
but that threat may be ameliorated if the native species is able to respond behaviourally to …

The presence of non-native predators can induce chronic stress in native species, but the
physiological responses of potential prey are not well understood. We investigated the …

Predators influence microhabitat selection and activity level of tadpoles, but it is still unclear
how such responses to predators differ among species and how water column's depth …

Alien species impact native amphibians through various direct effects, including predation,
and pose a significant threat to naïve prey populations. In this study, we exposed tadpoles of …

In aquatic systems, chemical cues are one of the major sources of information through which
animals can assess local predation risk. Non-native red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta …
