Marinobufagenin Inhibits Neutrophil Migration and Proinflammatory Cytokines
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Cardiotonic steroids, such as ouabain and digoxin, are known to bind to Na+/K+‐ATPase and to promote several biological activities, including anti‐inflammatory activity. However, there are still no reports in the literature about inflammation and marinobufagenin, a cardiotonic steroid from the bufadienolide family endogenously found in mammals ...

Consequences of agroindustrial sugarcane production to freshwater biodiversity
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 644-657, May 2016., 2016 Abstract The environmental benefits of a broad‐scale adoption of biofuels are critically contingent on what current land uses will be converted for feedstock expansion and how converted land will be managed. We assessed the consequences of land use and land management for the agroindustrial production of sugarcane to the physical, chemical, and ...

Toxicity Effects of Toad (Rhinella jimi Stevaux, 2002) Venom in Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 This study aimed to evaluate the pathological changes that occur after administering different doses of R. jimi (Stevaux, 2002) parotoid glands secretion to Gallus gallus domesticus chicks. Twenty‐three animals were used in this study and were divided into 5 groups that received a toad venom dose of 0, 3.0 mg/kg, 6.0 mg/kg, 10.0 mg/kg, and 25.0 mg/kg ...

Presynaptic effect of a methanolic extract of toad (Rhinella schneideri) poison in avian neuromuscular preparation. [PDF]
J Venom Res, 2011 The neurotoxicity of a methanolic extract of toad (Rhinella schneideri) poison was examined in chick biventer cervicis preparations. The methanolic extract (1, 3, 10 and 30µg/ml) caused concentration-dependent blockade at the three highest concentrations (time for 50% blockade, mean±SEM: 84±10, 51±3 and 12±0.8min for 3, 10 and 30µg/ml, respectively; n ...

Influence of density and predators on metamorphic size in Rhinella schneideri tadpoles raised in mesocosm conditions [PDF]
Biologia, 2014 Amphibians exhibit extreme plasticity in the timing of metamorphosis, and several species respond to water availability, accelerating metamorphosis when their ponds dry. We analyzed the plasticity of the developmental response to water volume in Rhinella schneideri tadpoles. We raised tadpoles in mesocosm. Covariation between body size at metamorphosis

When Raptors Are Away, Opossums Will Play: Woolly Opossums as Carrion Feeders in Harpy Eagle Nests
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Scavenging by New World marsupials is rarely documented. We recorded woolly opossums (Caluromys lanatus) scavenging prey remains from a Harpy eagle’s nest in central Brazil. The low overlap in activity periods between the two species may facilitate the behavior observed here.

Climate‐Mediated Hybridisation and the Future of Andean Forests
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT The tropical Andes face unprecedented warming and shifting precipitation patterns due to climate change and land‐use alteration, challenging the future of Andean forests. During the Quaternary, many Andean trees responded to climate change through upslope migrations but, while there is evidence of such ongoing migrations in many species, they ...

AVALIATION OF VENTILATORY PATTERN IN THE TOAD RHINELLA SCHNEIDERI (ANURA: BUFONIDAE)
Nucleus Animalium, 2010 Os anfíbios ventilam seus pulmões por meio de bombeamento bucal, mecanismo que foi primeiramente descrito 1969 como um modelo para a respiração de anuros. Como os anfíbios não possuem alvéolos em seus pulmões, foi calculado para o sapo Rhinella schneideri a ventilação equivalente do pulmão por meio da equação VEFF = (VLCO2•RT)/PLCO2.
