Chemical cues that attract cannibalistic cane toad (Rhinella marina) larvae to vulnerable embryos

Abstract Chemical cues produced by late-stage embryos of the cane toad (Rhinella marina) attract older conspecific larvae, which are highly cannibalistic and can consume an entire clutch. To clarify the molecular basis of this attraction response, we presented captive tadpoles with components presen...
