The northeast coast of Australia where sugar cane

Post by JouyntoSEOUK »

Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Colbert talks about the use of cutting-edge technology to possibly solve this environmental problem, as well as other consequences of human life. RBC Trends publishes a chapter from the book "Under the White Sky" by Elizabeth Colbert. The material was prepared in collaboration with the Alpina non-fiction publishing house . Initially, the toad-aga lived in South and Central America, as well as in the very south of Texas. In the middle of the 19th century, they were brought to the Caribbean. The idea was that the toads would eat beetle larvae that were damaging the region's main cash crop, sugar cane. (The cane itself, by the way, was also imported.

Only from New Guinea) From the Caribbean, toads came to Hawaii, and from there Russia WhatsApp Number List to Australia. In 1935, 102 toads were loaded onto a steamer in Honolulu. All but one survived the journey and ended up at a research station on is grown. During the year they laid more than 1.5 million eggs. The tadpoles that were born were specially released into the rivers and ponds of the region. It is unlikely that the toads were of any use to the sugar cane. Beetle larvae sit too high above the ground for an amphibian the size of a cobblestone to reach them. But the toads weren't bothered.

They easily found other food for themselves and continued to produce tadpoles by the millions. Starting on a patch of coastline in Queensland, they moved north to the Cape York Peninsula and south to New South Wales. In the 1980s, they made it to the Northern Territory. In 2005, they reached a place known as Middle Point, in the western part of the Northern Territory, near the city of Darwin. Something curious happened along the way. In the early stages of the invasion, toads spread at a rate of about 10 km per year.
