The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis (Daudin, 1802) is native to southern Africa but is invasive on four different continents. This study aimed to understand four major aspects of the African clawed frogs’ invasion in western France. Firstly, I assessed for the level of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation of X. laevis tadpoles from the two contrasting rainfall regions in the native range, as this could provide information on the level of phenotypic plasticity in the French invasive range. The winter rainfall region is characterised by colder temperature and a winter rainfall pattern whereas the summer rainfall region is characterised by warmer temperatures and a summer rainfall pattern. I performed a reciprocal exchange experiment...
