Choosy cannibals: Targeted consumption of conspecific hatchlings by larval cane toads is triggered by species‐specific defensive toxins
In many species, cannibalism is uncommon and involves nonselective consumption of conspecifics as well as heterospecifics. However, within their invasive Australian range, cane toad larvae (Rhinella marina) specifically target and voraciously consume the eggs and hatchlings of conspecifics, often ex...
