Potential Predators of an Invasive Frog (Eleutherodactylus coqui) in Hawaiian Forests

In Hawaii, where there are no native reptiles or amphibians, 27 species of reptiles and amphibians have established; however, few have been studied to determine their ecological impacts. For example, little is known about the impacts of the Puerto Rican frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui Thomas, that rec...
