Toads and toxins: The genome of the invasive cane toad

, 2018
Photo: UNSW Sydney The cane toad <em> Rhinella marina </em> is native to Central and South America. But thanks to humans and the sugar cane trade, the species now thrives also in Australia and other places where it doesn't belong. The invasive species comes with an&nbsp;unpleasant surprise for native Australian predators, such as snakes

Molecular dynamics simulations of oleuropein diffusion in chitosan‐based nanoparticles

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the diffusion mechanisms of oleuropein (OLE), a promising polyphenolic compound, within chitosan‐based nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Chitosan nanoparticles serve as drug delivery carriers, leveraging biocompatibility and tunable release properties influenced by environmental factors such as ...

Offspring Global DNA Methylation is not Affected by Parental Developmental Stress Experience in a Passerine Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Eye Darkening Under Dehydration Stress in the Neotropical Frog Boana punctata (Schneider, 1799)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Dehydration induces a strong and partially reversible increase in iris pigmentation in the Neotropical frog Boana punctata. The tight relationship between iris darkening and hydration state identifies ocular pigmentation as a simple, non‐invasive physiological biomarker with broad potential for assessing hydric stress in amphibian populations ...

Reduced Food Availability Amplifies Behavioral Depression and Impairs Locomotor Performance After Immune Challenge in Xenopus laevis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Food restricition amplifies the reduction in voluntary locomotion after immune challenge in Xenopus laevis, ilustrating the energetic trade‐off between immunity and performance. ABSTRACT Mounting an immune response and locomotor activity are energetically costly processes that can generate trade‐offs affecting energy allocation, muscle performance, and
