Life History Traits and Longevity of the Invasive Asian Common Toad <i>Duttaphrynus melanostictus</i> (Schneider, 1799) in Madagascar

We analyzed the body length, age structure, and age at sexual maturity of the invasive Asian common toad <i>Duttaphrynus melanostictus</i> from different sites in Toamasina, east Madagascar. We used skeletochronology as a proxy for age estimation, while gonads were histologically analyze...
