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

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 ...

A neuro-behavioural model of neophobia. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

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.

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 ...

A new function for lactate in the toad Bufo marinus [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1994 In the amphibian Bufo marinus, progressive hypoxia below a critical PO2 elicits a transient 50% increase in O2 consumption that coincides with the onset of lactate formation. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that lactate causes the observed rise in metabolic rate.

Locomotor performance of cane toads differs between native-range and invasive populations [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Invasive species provide a robust opportunity to evaluate how animals deal with novel environmental challenges. Shifts in locomotor performance—and thus the ability to disperse—(and especially, the degree to which it is constrained by thermal and hydric ...

Similar Habitat Gradients Across Native and Invasive Ranges Elicit Divergent Evolutionary Responses. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used morphological and genetic data of native and invasive cane toads to demonstrate 1) body‐size differences between ecotypes, 2) whether native‐range ecotypes are genetically distinct and 3) whether patterns of selection for wetter versus drier environments in native and invasive populations were similar.
