► In Australia, native invertebrates consume aquatic stages of the invasive cane toad. ► The predators are not affected by the toad's toxins. ► Some invertebrate species prefer cane toads to native tadpoles as prey. ► Native invertebrate predators can consume toad tadpoles at a high rate. ► Native invertebrate predators may affect cane toad recruitment.
