Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) invasion in Uruguay

Biological Invasions, 2007
This is the first report of North American bullfrogs, Lithobates catesbeianus (=Rana catesbeiana), invasion in Uruguay. This Anura was introduced for farming proposes in 1987, but at present most of the farms are closed. At one of these closed farms, located at Rincon de Pando, Canelones, we report the occurrence of a feral population of L ...

Localization of hematopoietic cells in the bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus)

open access: yesCell and Tissue Research, 2009
Amphibians represent the first phylogenetic group to possess hematopoietic bone marrow. However, adult amphibian hematopoiesis has only been described in a few species and with conflicting data. Bone marrow, kidney, spleen, liver, gut, stomach, lung, tegument, and heart were therefore collected from adult Lithobates catesbeianus and investigated by ...

Potential Distribution of the American Bullfrog (Lithobates Catesbeianus) in Ecuador

South American Journal of Herpetology, 2012
ABSTRACT. The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) is a native species from eastern North America that was introduced to Ecuador in 1985. We built two models in Maxent, (1) one model with native records and, (2) one model with native and invasive records, to provide an approximate map of the potential geographical distribution for this species ...

Toxicity of Waterborne Copper in Premetamorphic Tadpoles of Lithobates catesbeianus (Shaw, 1802)

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2010
Toxicity parameters of Copper to pre-metamorphic larvae of Lithobates catesbeianus were evaluated in laboratory conditions. The acute toxicity (as LC-50 96 h) was 3.96 mg Cu(2+) L(-1) (95% confidence interval: 3.21-4.89); the bioconcentration of the metal after 96 h exposure followed an exponential increase.

The Absence of Zoonotic Agents in Invasive Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) in Belgium and The Netherlands

EcoHealth, 2013
Exotic invasive bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) are considered to exert a considerable negative impact on native amphibian communities. This can be due to competition and predation, but they are also a notorious source of the infectious diseases chytridiomycosis and ranavirosis, affecting amphibian populations globally.

American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus (Shaw, 1802) invasion in Argentina

Biological Invasions, 2009
The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has been introduced throughout the world over the past two centuries. This taxa is a potentially devastating invader because of its large size, prolific reproductive output, and broad ecological niche. Consequently, the extent of this ongoing biological invasion is an increasing conservation concern.
