Characterisation of major histocompatibility complex class I in the Australian cane toad, Rhinella marina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I is a highly variable gene family that encodes cell-surface receptors vital for recognition of intracellular pathogens and initiation of immune responses.

Is developmental plasticity triggered by DNA methylation changes in the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina)? [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany organisms can adjust their development according to environmental conditions, including the presence of conspecifics. Although this developmental plasticity is common in amphibians, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown ...

Estimating the benefit of quarantine: eradicating invasive cane toads from islands [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2020 Islands are increasingly used to protect endangered populations from the negative impacts of invasive species. Quarantine efforts on islands are likely to be undervalued in circumstances in which a failure incurs non-economic costs.

A suspected parasite spill-back of two novel Myxidium spp. (Myxosporea) causing disease in Australian endemic frogs found in the invasive Cane toad. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Infectious diseases are contributing to the decline of endangered amphibians. We identified myxosporean parasites, Myxidium spp. (Myxosporea: Myxozoa), in the brain and liver of declining native frogs, the Green and Golden Bell frog (Litoria aurea) and ...

Faunal Diet of Adult Cane Toads, Rhinella marina, in the Urban Landscape of Southwest Florida
Animals, 2023 We investigated the diet of cane toads (Rhinella marina) inhabiting urbanized areas in southwest Florida to provide high taxonomic resolution of prey items, contrast toad diets between sampling seasons and sexes, and assess this invasive species ...

Competition between the tadpoles of Japanese toads versus frogs
Scientific Reports, 2022 Competition within and among species can play a key role in structuring the assemblages of anuran tadpoles. Previous studies have reported that tadpoles of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) are more strongly disadvantaged by the presence of native

Environmental DNA, 2020 Eradicating invasive species is difficult, but success is more likely when populations are small after arrival. The cane toad, Rhinella marina, is an invasive pest species that threatens native fauna worldwide.
