Comparative Immunology. Lymph Nodes in the Amphibian, Bufo marinus

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1964
SummaryEncapsulated nodes of lymphoid tissue have been demonstrated in the upper thorax, neck and axilla of the amphibian, Bujo marinus. The nodes phagocytize India ink and form antibody to bovine serum albumin. The anatomical and functional characteristics of these lymph nodes indicate that they are comparable to lymph nodes of mammals.

A biological invasion impacts ecosystem services: cane toads change the rate of scavenging and the suite of scavengers

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
By affecting the abundance of key native species, invasive taxa may disrupt ecosystem services. In Australia, large monitor lizards (Varanus spp.) play critical roles as scavengers and apex predators.
