Invasive Colonic Entamoebiasis in Wild Cane Toads, Australia

open access: yesEmerging 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

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

open access: yesAquaculture 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.

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

open access: yesEcology 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).

A history of mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) in Puerto Rico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Published claims in 1887-1903 that the mole cricket Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty) occurs in Puerto Rico all seem to be derived from a misidentification made by Agustín Stahl, a medical practitioner and collector of natural history objects, published in

An Analysis of pH Tolerance and Substrate Preference of Isolated Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria from Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana

open access: yes, 1993
1. The effects of varying pH and substrate on isolated skeletal muscle mitochondria from Bufo marinus and Rana catesbeiana were investigated. 2. For both species, V02 max significantly decreased at all pH\u3c7.3 (P \u3c 0.05), while maximum values were ...

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

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Behavioural responses of reptile predators to invasive cane toads in tropical Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The ecological impact of an invasive species can depend on the behavioural responses of native fauna to the invader. For example, the greatest risk posed by invasive cane toads (Rhinella marinaBufonidae) in tropical Australia is lethal poisoning of ...

Dynamic environments generate geographic fluctuations in population structure of an inland shorebird

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Species distributions depend on fine‐scale ecological processes and population growth trajectories and are influenced by climate and weather changes. However, the characterization of inter‐population dynamics underlying the geographic distributions of migratory organisms remains challenging.
