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 ...

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

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

Protozoan Parasites of the Cane Toad, Bufo-Marinus, in Australia
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1988 A survey of the protozoan parasites of the introduced South American cane toad, Bufo marinus, was conducted between 1983 and 1984 in Queensland. In all, 267 fully grown specimens, 7 juveniles and 115 tadpoles were checked for blood, cloaca, gall bladder and, for the tadpoles only, skin protozoans, and results are compared with records of the toad's ...

Seroprotein Patterns in the Bufo marinus Complex [PDF]
, 1962 The systematic relationships of the large species of neotropical toads of the Bufo marinus complex have not been defined since the studies of Lutz (1925). On the basis of recent contributions (Lutz and Kloss, 1952; Cochran, 1955; and Vellard, 1959) the following fundamental taxonomic units can be recognized: 1) an Amazonian population extending north ...

Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil. [PDF]
Vet RecAbstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

Rapid geographic divergence in competitive ability of cane toad larvae (Rhinella marina) during a biological invasion. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Low population densities at the expanding edge of a biological invasion are predicted to reduce intraspecific competition such that invading organisms evolve to prioritize adaptations for rapid rates of population growth and dispersal over those that facilitate success in competitive interactions.

Predation by Atractosteus tropicus on Bufo marinus and its possible affect on population in a lowland tropical wet rainforest [PDF]
, 2022 Fish predation can affect amphibian populations. Most examples report invasive fish species and their negative effect on specific amphibians. Here we provide an occurrence of natural fish predation by the tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus on the cane ...
