The Effects of the Toxic Cyanobacterium Limnothrix (Strain AC0243) on Bufo marinus Larvae [PDF]
Toxins, 2014 Limnothrix (strain AC0243) is a cyanobacterium, which has only recently been identified as toxin producing. Under laboratory conditions, Bufo marinus larvae were exposed to 100,000 cells mL−1 of Limnothrix (strain AC0243) live cultures for seven days ...

Measuring energetics and behaviour using accelerometry in cane toads Bufo marinus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Cane toads Bufo marinus were introduced to Australia as a control agent but now have a rapidly progressing invasion front and damage new habitats they enter. Predictive models that can give expansion rates as functions of energy supply and feeding ground

Intraspecific interference retards growth and development of cane toad tadpoles, but those effects disappear by the time of metamorphosis [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Competition among larval anurans can occur via interference as well as via a reduction in per-capita food supply. Previous research on intraspecific interference competition in cane toad (Rhinella marina) tadpoles found conflicting results, with one ...

Larval Adaptation to Salinity Shock in Cane Toads (Rhinella marina) From Coastal French Guiana [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany habitats not only differ in mean conditions but also in the degree to which these conditions fluctuate through time. Therefore, local adaptation to both mean abiotic conditions and habitat variability can enhance organismal viability.

Tadpole Skin Secretions, Not Food or Temperature, Mediate Costly Cannibal‐Induced Plasticity in Invasive Cane Toad Hatchlings [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionHatchlings of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in Australia respond facultatively to chemical cues of non‐feeding cannibalistic conspecific tadpoles by accelerating development, but consequently experience reduced growth, development and survival in

Assessment of virally vectored autoimmunity as a biocontrol strategy for cane toads. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: The cane toad, Bufo (Chaunus) marinus, is one of the most notorious vertebrate pests introduced into Australia over the last 200 years and, so far, efforts to identify a naturally occurring B. marinus-specific pathogen for use as a biological

Is the behavioural divergence between range-core and range-edge populations of cane toads (Rhinella marina) due to evolutionary change or developmental plasticity? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Individuals at the leading edge of expanding biological invasions often show distinctive phenotypic traits, in ways that enhance their ability to disperse rapidly and to function effectively in novel environments.

Salmonellas from the cane toad, Bufo marinus [PDF]
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1990 Free-ranging B. marinus from various locations in Queensland, New South Wales and Northern Territory were killed and samples of their large intestinal contents cultured for salmonella. Nine species of Salmonella namely S. aberdeen (2 isolates), S. anatum (3), S. chester (1), S. enteritidis (1), S. hvittingfoss (1), S. lansing (1), S.

Graellsia, 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 ...
