The invasion of cane toads through Australia has been devastating for many native species, but created opportunities for others. The rapid evolutionary responses stimulated by toad invasion provide a uniquely powerful model system with which to explore the broader question of how species adapt to novel challenges.

甘蔗蟾蜍在澳大利亚的入侵对许多本地物种来说是毁灭性的，但却为其他物种创造了机会。蟾蜍入侵刺激的快速进化反应提供了一个独特的强大模型系统，用于探索物种如何适应新挑战的更广泛问题。
