Dear All,

The journal NATURE Vol 439, 16 February 2006, page 803 has an article:
"Invasion and the evolution of speed in toads--Cane toads seem to have
honed their dispersal ability to devastating effect over the
generations," about the cane toads population evolving, to be able to
spread faster.

The conclusion is "Hence,control efforts against feral organisms should
be launched as soon as possible, before the invader has had time to
evolve into a more dangerous adversary."  

Sincerely,  Craig Dremann (650) 325-7333
