Sex and weaponry: The distribution of toxin‐storage glands on the bodies of male and female cane toads (Rhinella marina)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 21, Page 8950-8957, November 2017., 2017
Male and female cane toads differ in the distribution of toxin‐containing glands in different areas of the body. That divergence may reflect ecological and behavioral differences that have acted as selective forces on toxin‐gland location. Abstract The parotoid macroglands of bufonid anurans store (and can expel) large volumes of toxic secretions and ...

Protein‐Tyrosine Kinase Signaling in the Biological Functions Associated with Sperm

open access: yesJournal of Signal Transduction, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
In sexual reproduction, two gamete cells (i.e., egg and sperm) fuse (fertilization) to create a newborn with a genetic identity distinct from those of the parents. In the course of these developmental processes, a variety of signal transduction events occur simultaneously in each of the two gametes, as well as in the fertilized egg/zygote/early embryo.

Taxonomía y distribución del sapo sudamericano Bufo poeppigii Tschudi, 1845 (Amphibia: Anura: Bufonidae)

open access: yesGraellsia, 2002
La posición taxonómica del sapo andino Bufo poeppigii ha sido objeto de controversia desde su descripción por Tschudi en el siglo XIX. Ello se ha debido a su parecido con Bufo marinus y a que ambas especies pueden encontrarse juntas en algunas ...

Determinants of instrumental extinction in terrestrial toads (Bufo arenarum)

open access: bronzeLearning and Motivation, 2006
Abstract Previous research in a water-reinforced instrumental training situation with toads ( Bufo arenarum ) has shown that performance in both acquisition and extinction is poorer after partial, rather than continuous reinforcement training. In Experiment 1, the performance of a group receiving 24 trials on a 50% partial reinforcement schedule was ...

Phospholipid transfer activities in toad oocytes and developing embryos.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1986
The role of lipid transfer proteins during plasma membrane biogenesis was explored. Developing amphibia embryos were used because during their growth an active plasma membrane biosynthesis occurs together with negligible mitochondrial and endoplasmic ...

Hypophyseal Functions in the Toad Bufo Arenarum Hensel

open access: yesThe Quarterly Review of Biology, 1949
The study of the functions of the hypophysis of Bufo arenarum Hensel (and other batrachians) was started forty years ago in Argentina. This toad is perhaps the species in which the largest number of functions related to the hypophysis has been found and studied.

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.
