Exploiting intraspecific competitive mechanisms to control invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 If invasive species use chemical weapons to suppress the viability of conspecifics, we may be able to exploit those species-specific chemical cues for selective control of the invader. Cane toads (Rhinella marina) are spreading through tropical Australia, with negative effects on native species.

Neural and sensory basis of homing behaviour in the invasive cane toad, <i>Rhinella marina</i>. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciThe behavioural, sensory and neural bases of vertebrate navigation are primarily described in mammals and birds. While many studies have explored amphibian navigation, none have characterized brain activity associated with navigation in the wild. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a study on navigation in the cane toad,

Giant toads (Rhinella marina) living in agricultural areas have altered spermatogenesis. [PDF]
Sci Total Environ, 2017 Across diverse taxa, germ cell development is controlled by an intricate cascade of processes that are tightly controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Endocrine disturbances, such as those induced by endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can negatively affect spermatogenesis. Here, we investigate whether spermatogenesis is altered in the
