Sexual and geographical divergence in head widths of invasive cane toads, Rhinella marina (Anura: Bufonidae), is driven by both rapid evolution and plasticity
Measurements of> 3700 field-collected cane toads (Rhinella marina) show that head width
relative to body length differs between the sexes and has become modified during the toad's …
