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

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).

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl
Developmental 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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
