Cane toads, Bufo marinus, were introduced from central America to try to solve the problem. Cane toads kill and eat insects and other small animals. Fig. 4.1 shows a cane toad. Fig. 4.1 (a) State one feature of a cane toad, visible in Fig. 4.1, which shows that it is an amphibian. [1] (b) Name the genus to which cane toads belong.

[2] 10 © UCLES 2008 0654/03/O/N/08 For Examiner's Use (d) The cane toads did help to control the insect population. However, they also ate many other small animals, including species of rare and endangered mammals. The cane toads have spread rapidly from the place to which they were introduced, into other areas of Australia. Cane toads have become a serious pest. Biologists noticed that the cane toads that first arrived in a new area tended to have longer legs than the original cane toads that were introduced into Queensland. They thought that perhaps this happened because toads with longer legs could travel faster than other toads. They collected toads with different leg lengths, and measured the distance the toads travelled in 24 hours. The results are shown in Fig. 4.2. –0.8 –0.4 0 0.4 0.8 2000 1750 1500 1250 1000 distance travelled in 24 hours /m difference in leg length /mm compared with normal Fig. 4.2 (i) Calculate the speed at which a toad with normal leg length travelled. Show your working. [2] (ii) Suggest why it could be an advantage to a cane toad to move into a new area where there are no other cane toads present.
