Toxin depletion has no effect on antipredator responses in common toad (Bufo bufo) tadpoles
Antipredator responses often involve changes in several phenotypic traits and these changes interactively influence fitness. However, gaining insight into how the overall fitness effect of the overall response comes about is notoriously difficult. One promising avenue is to manipulate a single defensive trait and observe how that modifies fitness as well as the expression of other inducible responses. In chemically‐defended animals, toxins are likely to be costly to produce but it is still unknown how their depletion influences other characteristics. In the present study, we artificially depleted bufadienolide toxin stor...

Size changes in island plants: independent trait evolution in Alyxia ruscifolia (Apocynaceae) on Lord Howe Island
Species that are endemic to isolated islands often differ dramatically in size from their mainland relatives, for reasons that are poorly understood. While decades of research have sought to better understand insular size changes in animals, far fewer studies have investigated insular size changes in plants. Here, I test for changes in plant stature, seed size and leaf area in a woody shrub (Alyxia ruscifolia, Apocynaceae), which inhabits both the continent of Australia, and Lord Howe Island, a subtropical island located 600 km off Australia's east coast. Results showed that island plants became reproductively mature at e...

Ontogenetic changes in the external anatomy of the parasitic castrator crab Calyptraeotheres  garthi: implications for the timing of host colonization and sexual behaviour
Pea‐crabs are symbiotic crustaceans that live in association with a diverse array of macro‐invertebrate hosts. Some pea‐crabs exhibit an unusual and incompletely known post‐larval cycle characterized by the alternation of free‐life and symbiotic forms. We analyzed post‐larval morphology, the allometry of various body parts, and sexual dimorphism in Calyptraeotheres garthi, an endosymbiotic pea‐crab infesting the brooding chamber of limpets in the southwestern Atlantic. In C. garthi, the smallest invasive crab moults into a male or female pre‐hard stage, which is immediately followed by a hard stage. Then,...
