Rapid divergence in morphology and sexual dimorphism of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) on Ishigaki Island, Japan [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
When 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.

Distribution and Ecology of the Marine Toad, Bufo marinus, in Papua New Guinea [PDF]

, 1975
Bufo marinus was introduced into the New Guinea region in the late 1930s. Its present distribution in Papua New Guinea is mapped. In the Port Moresby area, the population of Bufo marinus is capable of reproduction at any time of the year.

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 ...

Evidence for the Use of Bufo marinus in the Olmec Shamanic Tool Kit [PDF]

, 2009
This thesis explores the use of toad imagery in Olmec iconography. The Bufo marinus, secretes a highly toxic poison that, when used with discretion, has hallucinogenic properties.

Taking the bait: Developing a bait delivery system to target free‐ranging crocodiles and varanid lizards with a novel conservation strategy

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).

Effects of Heat Stress on the Fat Greenling (Hexagrammos otakii) Necroptosis Mediated by MLKL and Heart Injury

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.

Baroreceptor control of heart rate in the conscious toad Bufo marinus [PDF]

, 1981
Perivascular balloons were used to elicit heart rate (HR) responses to imposed changes in mean arterial pressure (Pa) in conscious unrestrained toads (Bufo marinus).

Laid-back invaders: Cane toads (Rhinella marina) down-regulate their stress responses as they colonize a harsh climate

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
In response to encountering abiotic extremes, many organisms exhibit stress responses as measured by levels of corticosterone and heat-shock protein (e.g., HSP70) in the blood. Such responses can enhance organismal viability.
