Evidence toads may modulate landing preparation without predicting impact time
Biology 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

Ecohydrology, 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.

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

Rapid divergence in morphology and sexual dimorphism of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) on Ishigaki Island, Japan [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceWhen a species invades new areas, novel challenges drive rapid shifts in phenotypic traits. Few studies have exploited the opportunity to examine such shifts in replicate invasions of the same species into dissimilar habitats.

Invasive Colonic Entamoebiasis in Wild Cane Toads, Australia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 We detected a disease syndrome in free-ranging Australian cane toads involving atypical behavior and emaciation that is associated with a previously undescribed Entamoeba sp. that infiltrates the colonic lining, causing it to slough.

Modulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis in muscle-dependent long-term depression at the amphibian neuromuscular junction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We have labeled recycling synaptic vesicles at the somatic Bufo marinus neuromuscular junction with the styryl dye FM2-10 and provide direct evidence for refractoriness of exocytosis associated with a muscle activity-dependent form of long-term ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In tropical Australia, conditioned taste aversion (CTA) can buffer vulnerable native predators from the invasion of a toxic prey species (cane toads, Rhinella marina).

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Mixed lineage kinase domain‐like pseudokinase (MLKL) is a key effector of necroptosis. We identified an MLKL homologue from Hexagrammos otakii, named HoMLKL. The open reading frame (ORF) of HoMLKL contained 1497 nucleotides and encoded a protein with 498 amino acids (Mw = 57.15 kDa). Bioinformatic analysis revealed that HoMLKL is highly conserved.
