Impact Description | Iberian anuran tadpoles altered their movements when chemical cues were from native chelonians, but did not respond to cues from invasive Trachemys scripta elegans. This response, probably due to a lack of coevolutionary history, may explain why invasive red-eared sliders have a competitive advantage over native Iberian terrapins for food resources. |
