Ecology 6th Edition by Charles Krebs

تمرين 2

Cane toads have been introduced to Australia and many of the Pacific islands. Their skin contains glands that secrete poisons that are toxic to most vertebrates. Discuss how evolution might operate on potential predators of cane toads in areas like Australia in which the predators have no prior evolutionary history of interactions with these toads. Phillips and Shine (2006) discuss this issue.
