Anti-predator defences of a bombardier beetle: is bombing essential for successful escape from frogs? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Some animals, such as the bombardier beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Brachinini), have evolved chemical defences against predators. When attacked, bombardier beetles can discharge noxious chemicals at temperatures of approximately 100 °C from the tip of ...

Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAdults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

Bombardier beetles repel invasive bullfrogs
PeerJInvasive 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. The American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus (Anura: Ranidae) has been intentionally introduced to many ...
