Does greater thermal plasticity facilitate range expansion of an invasive terrestrial anuran into higher latitudes?
Temperature has pervasive effects on physiological processes and is critical in setting species distribution limits. Since invading Australia, cane toads have spread rapidly across low latitudes, but slowly into higher latitudes. Low temperature is the likely factor limiting high-latitude advancemen...
