DOI: 10.1002/etc.4302
Abstract: Owing to the dynamic interaction between frog skin and the environment, xenobiotics in frog habitats are of particular concern, and knowledge of percutaneous absorption in frog skin is necessary for risk-mitigation purposes. Baseline transdermal kinetics… read more here.

Cane toads (Rhinella marina) rely on water access, not drought tolerance, to invade xeric Australian environments

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4321-1
Abstract: The invasion of habitats with novel environmental challenges may require physiological tolerances not seen in conspecifics from the native range. We used a combination of field and laboratory-based experiments to assess physiological tolerance to limited… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1716-1
Abstract: The invasion of a toxic prey type can differentially affect closely related predator species. In Australia, the invasive Cane Toad (Rhinella marina) kills native anurophagous predators that cannot tolerate the toad’s toxins; but predators that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02597-2
Abstract: Geographical variation in abiotic and biotic conditions can significantly affect the rate that an invasive species expands its range. The colonisation of Australia by cane toads (Rhinella marina) has attracted extensive research, but mostly in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2020.103558
Abstract: In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of nondestructive biomarkers approach in giant toads (Rhinella marina). We obtained blood samples and the residual condition index of toads from rural and industrial zones from Coatzacoalcos River,… read more here.

Thin-skinned invaders: geographic variation in the structure of the skin among populations of cane toads (Rhinella marina)

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaa128
Abstract: The structure of the skin may evolve rapidly during a biological invasion, for two reasons. First, novel abiotic challenges such as hydric conditions may modify selection of traits (such as skin thickness) that determine rates… read more here.

At the invasion front, male cane toads (Rhinella marina) have smaller testes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0339
Abstract: As a colonizing species expands its range, individuals at the invasion front experience different evolutionary pressures than do those at the range-core. For example, low densities at the edge of the range mean that males… read more here.

No evidence for cold-adapted life-history traits in cool-climate populations of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina)

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266708
Abstract: As an invasive organism spreads into a novel environment, it may encounter strong selective pressures to adapt to abiotic and biotic challenges. We examined the effect of water temperature during larval life on rates of… read more here.
