Egg clutch structure of Rhinella rumbolli (Anura: Bufonidae), a toad from the Yungas of Argentina, with a review of the reproductive diversity in Rhinella [PDF]

, 2015
Rhinella rumbolli is a poorly known, medium-sized toad endemic to the Yungas of Argentina. Recent fieldwork allowed observing its peculiar oviposition mode, which is described in this paper.

The Evolution of Male Weapons Is Associated with the Type of Breeding Site in a Clade of Neotropical Frogs

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

Rhinella marina oocytes: a suitable alternative expression system for functional characterization of aquaglyceroporins. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractAmphibian oocytes have been extensively used for heterologous expression of membrane proteins for studying their biochemical and biophysical properties. So far, Xenopus laevis is the main amphibian used as oocytes source to express aquaglyceroporins in order to assess water and solutes permeability.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
