☆ Cane toads: This warty, toxic pest threatens entire ecosystems. These scientists have a secret weapon
  + stars: | 2024-01-19 | by ( Hilary Whiteman | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +12 min
For the most part, the battle against cane toads has been mounted by local ecological warriors wearing rubber gloves who scan the streets for adult toads. But the Australians have a secret weapon not yet available worldwide – a lure that attracts cane toad tadpoles so thousands can be killed in one hit. To prove the theory, and try to mimic it, they’d first need a heap of dead cane toads. “In Florida, cane toads are mainly a socio-economic issue. Northern quolls – small carnivorous marsupials – get a cane toad sausage, goannas are fed tiny live toads and freshwater crocodiles receive cane toad legs with a dose of lithium chloride.

"He's gotten me seven times," Fritz said of the Serb, who beat Borno Gojo in straight sets to reach the quarters. Fritz, one of three U.S. men in the last eight, was thrashed 6-0 6-4 by Djokovic in the Cincinnati quarter-finals last month but he said he would take positives from that defeat. "It's good that I got the one in Cincinnati out of the way," said Fritz. I'm not going to do anything different because I'm playing Novak. I'm going to play my game, play within myself and trust that if I play well, it's enough."

The top-ranked Americans were hardly tested as ninth seed Fritz crushed compatriot Steve Johnson 6-2 6-1 6-2 in Louis Armstrong Stadium after Tiafoe, the 10th seed, beat American Learner Tien 6-2 7-5 6-1 inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. There have been 78 consecutive Grand Slams played since Andy Roddick won the 2003 U.S. Open, and hopes that an American man can snap that title drought at one of the sport's blue-riband events have fallen largely on the shoulders of Fritz and Tiafoe. I was calm and I thought I played a really good match," said Fritz. Tiafoe faced a tricky opening test in Tien, who at 17 was the youngest player in the main draw and earned a U.S. Open wild card after winning a second consecutive USTA Boys' 18s National Championship. "I have so many good memories from last year and all I am focused on is the U.S. Open," said Tiafoe.
