Evolutionary responses to invasion: cane toad sympatric fish show enhanced avoidance learning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The introduced cane toad (Bufo marinus) poses a major threat to biodiversity due to its lifelong toxicity. Several terrestrial native Australian vertebrates are adapting to the cane toad's presence and lab trials have demonstrated that repeated exposure ...

Osmoregulation of the Cane Toad, Bufo Marinus, in Salt Water [PDF]
, 1985 1. Adult cane toads, B. marinus, survived in salinities up to 40% sea-water (SW). 2. Pre-exposure to 30, then 40% SW, increased the survival time of toads in 50% SW. 3.

Divergence in host–parasite interactions during the cane toad's invasion of Australia
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Coevolutionary host–parasite “arms races” can be disrupted by new evolutionary forces imposed by biological invasions, affecting both host and parasite densities, as well as their traits.

Predation on invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) by native Australian rodents [PDF]
, 2015 © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. The success of an invasive species can be reduced by biotic resistance from the native fauna. For example, an invader that is eaten by native predators is less likely to thrive than one that is invulnerable. The

slc26a12-A novel member of the slc26 family, is located in tandem with slc26a2 in coelacanths, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. [PDF]
Physiol RepAbstract Solute carrier family 26 (Slc26) is a family of anion exchangers with 11 members in mammals (named Slc26a1‐a11). Here, we identified a novel member of the slc26 family, slc26a12, located in tandem with slc26a2 in the genomes of several vertebrate lineages.

Primeiro estudo parasitológico em rã com garras Africano (Xenopus laevis, Anfibia) no Chile [PDF]
, 2017 Introduced species can arrive into new territories with parasites; however, these species are expected to face lower parasite richness than in their original regions. Both introduced hosts and parasites can affect native fauna.
