A biological invasion impacts ecosystem services: cane toads change the rate of scavenging and the suite of scavengers
Abstract By affecting the abundance of key native species, invasive taxa may disrupt ecosystem services. In Australia, large monitor lizards (Varanus spp.) play critical roles as scavengers and apex predators. Our broadscale surveys (across two transects, 1300 and 2500 km) show that in tropical area...
