Field trials of chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads (Rhinella marina) by older conspecifics
Abstract Laboratory experiments have shown that the viability of embryos of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) can be reduced by exposure to chemical cues from older conspecific larvae. These effects (very strong in laboratory trials) may offer an exciting new approach to controlling this prob...
