In Australia the Cane Toad adapted and evolved with abandon, voraciously consuming native wildlife and killing predators with its lethal skin toxin. Today, hundreds of millions of Cane Toads have spread across the northern part of Australia and continue to move westward. The humble Cane Toad has become a national villain.</p><p><em>Cane Toad Wars</em> chronicles the work of intrepid scientist Rick Shine, who has been documenting the toads ecological impact in Australia and seeking to buffer it. Despite predictions of devastation in the wake of advancing toad hordes, the authors research reveals a more complex and nuanced story. A firsthand account of a perplexing ecological problem and an important exploration of how we measure evolutionary change and ecological resilience, this book makes an effective case for the value of long-term natural history research in informing conservation practice.</p>...3277682Cane Toad Wars609676https://www.gandhi.com.mx/cane-toad-wars-9780520967984/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3415180/bdd7ed6e-c1af-455c-83c4-cd0cde185240.jpg?v=638922823273400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189780520967984_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_<p>In 1935, an Australian government agency imported 101 specimens of the Central and South American Cane Toad in an attempt to manage insects that were decimating sugar-cane harvests.
