Defenses of whirligig beetles against native and invasive frogs [PDF]
PeerJMany native insects have evolved defenses against native predators. However, their defenses may not protect them from non-native predators due to a limited shared history.

Combating adult invasive American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus [PDF]
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2014 American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus is considered as one of the world’s worst alien invasive species. Currently, the species is present over almost all continents and is suspected to cause substantial ecological damage. Knowledge about its population density, as well as catchability of the species with commonly used sampling gear, is very useful ...

Bombardier beetles repel invasive bullfrogs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Invasive non-native predators negatively affect native species; however, some native species can survive the predation pressures of invasive species by using pre-existing antipredator strategies or evolving defenses against invasive predators.

Oxalate nephropathy in free-living American bullfrog tadpoles [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2015 In February 2014, wild American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles from an artificial pond in the Kyusyu region, Japan, presented with coelomic and subcutaneous edema and erythema within the skin. A pathological examination of 57 tadpoles of American bullfrogs in the region was conducted to evaluate the disease.

Aquaculture enclosures relate to the establishment of feral populations of introduced species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Many species introduced by humans for social and economic benefits have invaded new ranges by escaping from captivity. Such invasive species can negatively affect biodiversity and economies.

Diversity, 2022 Invasive species impact both the local biota and human economies and are a very serious threat to biodiversity. The American bullfrog was initially introduced into northwestern China and many other sites for aquacultural purposes. Then, the frogs escaped

A Review of the Scale and Sustainability of the Consumption and Trade of Anuran Species in Africa. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Within Africa, collection and trade of anurans is often recorded as single‐site case studies, making it difficult to accurately understand the scale of use, its livelihood importance, and impact on species. We conducted a systematic review to: compile literature on anuran uses in Africa; identify the species and ecoregions involved; and ...
