Understanding the determinants of the range expansion of invasive alien species is crucial
for developing effective prevention and control strategies. Nevertheless, we still lack a global …

In response to novel environments, invasive populations often evolve rapidly. Standing
genetic variation is an important predictor of evolutionary response but epigenetic variation …

Many animals capable of deploying chemical defences are reluctant to use them,
suggesting that synthesis of toxins imposes a substantial cost. Typically, such costs have …

The sublethal effects of infectious disease on reproductive behaviour and mating success
are not well understood. Here, we investigated predictors of male mating success in one of …

Marking methods that do not affect survival are crucial to study anuran demography. Toe-
clipping is among the most frequent marking methods in anurans. Nonetheless, the potential …

If optimal investment in anti-predator defences depends on predation risk, invading new
regions (and thus, encountering different predators) may favour shifts in that investment …

The population dynamics of an alien species can be heterogeneous across a
geographically widespread invasion–and thus, the effectiveness of alternative control …

The use of color markings (eg, non-toxic paint, dye, or pens) is frequently employed by
herpetologists to track individuals within a population, but effects of these markings on study …

Parasites can enhance their fitness by modifying the behavior of their hosts in ways that
increase rates of production and transmission of parasite larvae. We used an antihelminthic …

Behavioural flexibility plays a key role in facilitating the ability of invasive species to exploit
anthropogenically‐created resources. In Australia, invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) …
