Title: | Potential impacts of intraguild predation by invasive Asian house geckos | Contributor(s): | Nordberg, Eric J (author)![]() |

Their historically patchy distribution across Australia has gained attention as populations have spread into peri-urban and native bushland. Hemidactylus frenatus potentially pose a threat to native species through competition and predation. I documented some activity of H. frenatus during the day, including foraging, which may broaden the potential impacts to diurnal species. Here, I highlight (i) the potential impact of predation by H. frenatus on native lizards and (ii) the need for empirical studies directly quantifying competitive encounters, with special interest in intraguild predation. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Austral Ecology, 44(8), p. 1487-1489 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1442-9993 1442-9985 |
