Although invasive species are viewed as major threats to ecosystems worldwide, few such
species have been studied in enough detail to identify the pathways, magnitudes, and …

This paper reviews the impacts of three species of introduced mammalian predators on
native fauna in Australia. The feral cat Felis catus, introduced over 200 years ago, is linked …

In the montane rain forests of eastern Australia at least 14 species of endemic, stream‐
dwelling frogs have disappeared or declined sharply (by more than 90%) during the past 15 …

The arrival of invasive species can devastate natural ecosystems, but the long-term effects of
invasion are less clear. If native organisms can adapt to the presence of the invader, the …

Current approaches to modeling range advance assume that the distribution describing
dispersal distances in the population (the “dispersal kernel”) is a static entity. We argue here …

Reptiles have been considered by some to be of “minor importance,” and their
disappearance has been suggested to “not make much difference one way or the other”(Zim …

A decade ago, Tim Low journeyed to the remote northernmost tip of Australia. Instead of the
pristine rain forests he expected, he found jungles infested with Latin American carpet grass …

Cane toads (Bufo marinus) are large toxic anurans that have spread through much of
tropical Australia since their introduction in 1935. Our surveys of the location of the toad …

Rapid environmental change due to human activities has increased rates of extinction, but
some species may be able to adapt rapidly enough to deal with such changes. Our studies …

Cane toads (Bufo marinus) are large, highly toxic anurans that were introduced into
Australia in 1937. Anecdotal reports suggest that the invasion of toads into an area is …
