PROTEINS OF PAROTOID GLAND SECRETIONS FROM TOADS OF THE GENUS BUFO [PDF]
, 2000 Freeze-dried parotoid gland secretions from toads of the genus Bufo contained large proportions of protein (25-35% by weight). SDS-PAGE suggested that secretions from several species of Bufo contained mixtures of proteins in the relative molecular mass ...

Trade in wild anurans vectors the urodelan pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Pathogen pollution has caused dramatic losses of amphibian diversity on a global scale. The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been hypothesized to have its origin in Asian urodelan populations, from which it may

CHORUSING PATTERNS OF A DIVERSE ANURAN COMMUNITY, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SOUTHERN CRAWFISH FROGS (LITHOBATES AREOLATUS AREOLATUS) [PDF]
, 2016 Wildlife surveys have a critical role in conservation efforts and the collection of life history data. For anuran amphibians these surveys often focus on calling males.

Behavioural flexibility allows an invasive vertebrate to survive in a semi-arid environment [PDF]
, 2014 Plasticity or evolution in behavioural responses are key attributes of successful animal invasions. In northern Australia, the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) recently invaded semi-arid regions. Here, cane toads endure repeated daily bouts of severe

Osmoregulation of the Cane Toad, Bufo Marinus, in Salt Water [PDF]
, 1985 1. Adult cane toads, B. marinus, survived in salinities up to 40% sea-water (SW). 2. Pre-exposure to 30, then 40% SW, increased the survival time of toads in 50% SW. 3.

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020 The recent detection of a novel amoebozoan parasite (Entamoeba sp. CT1) killing invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in tropical Australia raises concerns of potential spill-over into native anuran populations.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 While both innate and adaptive immune system mechanisms have been implicated in resistance against the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), studies on the role of specific MHC haplotypes on Bd infection are rare. Here, we studied variation

Cane toads lack physiological enhancements for dispersal at the invasive front in Northern Australia
Biology Open, 2011 Summary Many invasive species have evolved behavioural and morphological characteristics that facilitate their dispersal into new areas, but it is unclear how selection on this level of the phenotype filters through to the underlying physiology.
