Mechanisms, costs, and carry‐over effects of cannibal‐induced developmental plasticity in invasive cane toads
Abstract Inducible defences can improve survival in variable environments by allowing individuals to produce defences if they detect predators. These defences are often expressed as inter‐related developmental, morphological, and behavioural changes. However, producing defences can incur costs, whic...
