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.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-019-01315-9
Abstract: When trained in a rectangular arena, some research has suggested that rats are guided by local features rather than overall boundary geometry. We explored this hypothesis using the terrestrial toad, Rhinella arenarum, as a comparative… 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: 10.1139/cjz-2018-0012
Abstract: Anurans can be naturally infected by the bacterium Escherichia coli (Migula, 1895) Castellani and Chalmers, 1919, which contain lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in their external membrane. LPS affects reproductive functions in mammals and extracutaneous pigmentary system of… read more here.
