Who's calling? Understanding and exploiting signalling system ecology to improve success in trapping cane toads

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project has five major national and community benefits for Australia. It will: 1. provide a much-needed control option for a major pest, 2. actually remove many toads during the course of the study, through trapping at various locations around Australia, 3. support an Australian small business by providing research outcomes that will enable it to develop and market a highly desired product, and 4. provide high level, postgraduate training in science. This project directly addresses the National Research Priority goal safeguarding Australia, protecting Australia from invasive … pests, because it will generate new technologies useful for controlling an invasive species.
