چکیده
Imagine the scene; the camera pans from a Petri dish of wriggling larvae to a sexy blonde scientist who is peering at the animals through a microscope. She looks up, terror-stricken, and says into the camera ‘My God, they’re evolving!’ While TV and movie scenes like this make most biologists chuckle, Australian conservation biologists who are working to contain an invasion of exotic cane toads may not find them funny. This is because a recent paper by Phillips and colleagues has demonstrated that introduced cane toads in Australia have evolved in the 70 years since their arrival in ways that are accelerating their conquest of the continent.
