Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Benjamin L Phillips"
Recent research by Benjamin L Phillips primarily focuses on the ecology and evolution of invasive species, particularly the cane toad (Rhinella marina), exploring how factors like dispersal behavior and evolutionary traits affect their spread.
His studies utilize extensive data and methodologies, including radio-tracking and analysis of phenotypic traits, to quantify movement rates and the consequences of such movement in both native and invaded habitats.
Phillips highlights the complex interplay between natural selection and spatial sorting at invasion fronts, investigating how these forces affect phenotypic characteristics, immune function, and ultimately the dynamics of invasive populations.
