Helminths parasites of freshwater fishes from Pirassununga, SP, Brazil

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1985
Twelve species of parasitic helminths, seven trematodes, four nematodes and one acanthocephalan are reported from various hosts. Creptotrema lynchi, a parasite from Bufo marinus in Colombia, is described for the first time in fish and from Brazil ...

Evidence toads may modulate landing preparation without predicting impact time

open access: yesBiology Open, 2017
Within anurans (frogs and toads), cane toads (Bufo marinus) perform particularly controlled landings in which the forelimbs are exclusively used to decelerate and stabilize the body after impact. Here we explore how toads achieve dynamic stability across

Osmoregulation of the cane toad, Bufo marinus, in salt water [PDF]

open access: yesComparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1985
Adult cane toads, B. marinus, survived in salinities up to 40% sea-water (SW). Pre-exposure to 30, then 40% SW, increased the survival time of toads in 50% SW. Plasma from toads acclimated to salt water is hyperosmotic to the environment--a result of increased plasma sodium, chloride and urea concentrations.

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 6, Page 567-584, June 2026.
Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

Palatability of Bufo Marinus Tadpoles to a Vertebrate Fish Predator Decreases with Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This investigation showed an ontogenetic shift in the palatability of Bufo marinus tadpoles by measuring consumption of tadpoles at three different developmental stages (newly hatched, intermediate and pre- metamorphic) by an Australian predatory fish ...

Behavioural divergence during biological invasions: a study of cane toads (Rhinella marina) from contrasting environments in Hawai'i [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Invasive species must deal with novel challenges, both from the alien environment and from pressures arising from range expansion per se (e.g. spatial sorting).

The effect of trait choice on hybrid species distribution model projections under climate change

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly combined with thermal performance data to enhance their transferability and to provide a physiological explanation for the predicted geographic patterns. Yet, while it is widely acknowledged that thermal sensitivities may vary among biological traits, it remains largely unexplored to what extent

Whole Body i=In Vivo Vascular Compliance in Two Amphibians, Bufo Marinus and Rana Cate [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP), vascular compliance (C) and unstressed volume (USV) were measured in Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana, using an in vivo preparation.
