PATHOLOGY OF MUCORMYCOSIS OF CANE TOADS IN AUSTRALIA [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1997
The gross and microscopic pathology of a fungal septicaemia caused by the zygomycete. Mucor amphibiorum in 27 free-ranging cane toads, Bufo marinus, in Australia is described. Seven of the 27 toads had clinical signs of illness when discovered and five of these seven were moribund.

Correlates of Post‐Introduction Displacement in a Conservation Translocation of Threespine Stickleback

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Predicting the distance between an individual's release point into a new environment and their subsequent location (‘displacement’) could be useful during biological ‘introduction’ events (e.g., invasions/translocations) because variation in displacement could lead to spatially‐structured ecological and evolutionary effects, as well as ...

Cane toad toxins: mystery revealed [PDF]

, 2015
Cane toads (Bufo marinus) were introduced to Australia as a biocontrol agent for the beetle pests of sugarcane. An ill-advised attempt at biocontrol, the cane toad experiment proved remarkably unsuccessful. Not only did cane toads fail to control the beetles, they became an invasive poisonous pest and threat to many native predator species and ...

Divergent Selection on Dispersal Targets Chemosensory and Neuronal Genes in Tribolium castaneum

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is key to the life history, ecology and evolution of many organisms and important in pest invasiveness. However, the genetic architecture underlying variation in dispersal behaviour remains poorly understood outside of a few model species.

Don’t Demean “Invasives”: Conservation and Wrongful Species Discrimination [PDF]

, 2019
It is common for conservationists to refer to non-native species that have undesirable impacts on humans as “invasive”. We argue that the classification of any species as “invasive” constitutes wrongful discrimination.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Wide recreational trails are semi‐barriers to deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) in small forest preserves

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract While roads have well‐documented effects on wildlife movement, the impact of smaller non‐vehicle recreational trails typical of urban preserves is less thoroughly understood, particularly for small mammals. We used mark–recapture to identify movement of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) across three broad (>2.5 m) recreational trails in small

A Preliminary Assessment of Noise‐Related Impacts From the Urban‐Invasive Johnstone's Whistling Frog (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) 城市入侵物种约翰斯通鸣蛙 (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) 引起的噪声影响初步评估 Una evaluación preliminar de los impactos relacionados con el ruido de la rana silbadora de Johnstone (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei), especie urbana invasora

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 104-114, March 2026.
The Johnstone's whistling frog is an invasive species whose loud night‐time calls may affect human health and well‐being. Our study in Cali, Colombia, combined fieldwork and online surveys to assess its urban occupancy, density, and potential health impacts.

Apparent lack of spill-over of parasites from an invasive anuran: PCR detects Entamoeba in cane toads (Rhinella marina) but not in sympatric Australian native frogs

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
The recent detection of a novel amoebozoan parasite (Entamoeba sp. CT1) killing invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in tropical Australia raises concerns of potential spill-over into native anuran populations.
