recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Invasions"

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-017-1554-6

Abstract: Possession of unique defensive toxins by nonindigenous species may increase the likelihood of creating evolutionary traps for native predators. We tested the hypothesis that nonindigenous, toxic Cuban Treefrogs (Osteopilus septentrionalis) have created an evolutionary trap… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00159

Abstract: An animal’s physiology should be closely adapted to its environment to optimize organismal function, so physiological traits may be mismatched when animals are introduced to new locations. For introduced amphibians, mismatched traits involving hydric balance… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1353975

Abstract: Species of Pterygodermatites are spirurid nematodes that have expanded their geographic distribution worldwide. They infect a variety of mammalian definitive hosts with few reports of potential paratenic infections in amphibian and reptile hosts. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d10030078

Abstract: The introduction of a novel competitor can dramatically alter community dynamics, and competition-mediated impacts often result from biological invasions. Interference competition can be especially problematic as a source of methodological bias for studies seeking to… read more here.
