A session dedicated to the Guttural Toad (Sclerophrys gutturalis)
The Conservation Symposium (1-4 November 2021) had a special session on the morning of 4 November 2021 where five MeaseyLab members presented their work on Guttural Toads. Because these presentations were recorded ahead of time, we are able to share them for your interest in a playlist here.

Introduction of guttural toads (Sclerophrys gutturalis) produces marked shifts in the endemic western leopard toad (Sclerophrys pantherina) gut microbiome: Carla Wagener
Does urban adaptation enhance invasiveness? A case study of tadpoles of a successful invasive amphibian: Max Mühlenhaupt
Conqueror toads: Comparing behaviour, performance and competitive potential in a successful invader and its native congeners: Andrea Melotto
An army marches on its stomach: Diet composition and prey preference of guttural toad (Sclerophrys gutturalis) populations along a native-invasive and natural-urban gradient: Sam Peta
