A review of chemical defense in harlequin toads (Bufonidae; Atelopus)
Toxicon: X, 2021 Toads of the genus Atelopus are chemically defended by a unique combination of endogenously synthesized cardiotoxins (bufadienolides) and neurotoxins which may be sequestered (guanidinium alkaloids). Investigation into Atelopus small-molecule chemical defenses has been primarily concerned with identifying and characterizing various forms of these ...

Skin Resistance to Dehydration: A Theory‐Informed Trait Gradient in Anurans
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Anurans' sensitivity to hydric stress has driven adaptive changes in multiple traits, potentially displaying geographical clines, as is the case with body size. A longstanding body of research suggests that skin resistance to water loss may also vary geographically in response to water loss.
