- Morphology and vocalization comparison of the Houston Toad and the Dwarf American Toad: implications for their historic range.
MacLaren AR, Hibbitts TJ, Forstner MRJ et al. · PeerJ · 2024-07 · open access
Documenting changes in the distribution and abundance of a given taxon requires historical data. In the absence of long-term monitoring data collected throughout the range of a taxon, conservation biologists often rely on preserved museum specimens to determine the past or present, putative…
- Ecotoxicological Characterization of Lithium as a "Timebomb" in Aquatic Systems: Tadpoles of the South American Toad Rhinella arenarum (Hensel, 1867) as Model Organisms.
Peltzer PM, Cuzziol Boccioni AP, Attademo AM et al. · Toxics · 2024-02 · open access
The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute lethality and chronic sublethal effects of lithium (Li) on Rhinella arenarum tadpoles as model organisms. First a 96 h toxicity assay was performed by exposing tadpoles to Li concentrations from 44.08 to 412.5 mg L -1 to estimate the mortality, and…

- Combining two user-friendly machine learning tools increases species detection from acoustic recordings
Cristian Pérez‐Granados, Mariano J. Feldman, Marc J. Mazerolle · Canadian Journal of Zoology · 2023-11 · open access
Passive acoustic monitoring usually generates large datasets that require machine learning algorithms to scan sound files, although the complexity of developing machine learning algorithms can be a barrier. We assessed the ability and speed of two user-friendly machine learning tools, Kaleidoscope…
- Inter-annual variation in amphibian larval interspecies interactions.
Ford J, Green DM · Ecology and evolution · 2023-07 · open access
The outcomes of species interactions can vary by life stage, year, and surrounding environmental conditions. Amphibian species are expected to compete most strongly during their tadpole stage when they exist in the highest densities. Changes in arrival timing, surrounding aquatic communities, and…
- Comparative efficacy of eDNA and conventional methods for monitoring wetland anuran communities
Madison J. H. Wikston, Brie‐Anne A. Breton, Sibelle Torres Vilaça et al. · Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution · 2023-07 · open access
Documenting biodiversity, species occurrence, and species status require reliable monitoring techniques, but the complex life history and cryptic behavior of many anurans create challenges for conventional monitoring approaches. Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys are a promising alternative (or…
- Evaluating the interactive effects of artificial light at night and background color on tadpole crypsis, background adaptation efficacy, and growth.

- Effects of Herbicides and the Chytrid Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on the growth, development and survival of Larval American Toads (Anaxyrus americanus).
Paetow LJ, Cue RI, Pauli BD et al. · Ecotoxicology and environmental safety · 2023-05 · open access
- Legacy effects in temporally separated tadpole species are not mediated by invasive Western Mosquitofish ( Gambusia affinis ).
Smith GR · Ecology and evolution · 2023-04 · open access
Temporally separated species are often thought to have limited competition over a shared resource. However, early arriving species may consume a limited resource such that later-arriving species have access to fewer resources and thus experience competitive effects, even if they are temporally…

- Assessing the Impact of Chemical Algae Management Strategies on Anurans and Aquatic Communities.
Dvorsky C, Riddle K, Boone M · Environmental toxicology and chemistry · 2022-12 · open access
Pond management with chemical and biological agents that reduce overgrowth of algae is an important means of maintaining water quality in residential ponds, yet the effects on nontarget species are not fully understood. We assessed the impact of Aquashade (a common nontoxic pond dye) and copper…

- Evaluating the role of body size and habitat type in movement behavior in human-dominated systems: A frog's eye view.
Murphy M, Boone M · Ecology and evolution · 2022-06 · open access
Animal movement is a key process that connects and maintains populations on the landscape, yet for most species, we do not understand how intrinsic and extrinsic factors interact to influence individual movement behavior.Land-use/land-cover changes highlight that connectivity among populations will…
- Gonadal Cycles and Growth to Sexual Maturity of the Eastern American Toad, Anaxyrus americanus americanus (Holbrook, 1836), from Pennsylvania

McCarthy K, Shinn O, Luna-Reyes R et al. · ZooKeys · 2022-05 · open access
Based on examination of most of the existing museum specimens of the rare bufonid frog Inciliustacanensis , we present a redescription and new diagnosis for this species. The species is limited to small region of the Pacific chain of volcanoes in southeastern Chiapas, Mexico, and adjacent areas of…

Flynn RW, Hoover G, Iacchetta M et al. · Environmental toxicology and chemistry · 2022-03 · open access
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are contaminants of concern due to their widespread occurrence in the environment, persistence, and potential to elicit a range of negative health effects. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are regularly detected in surface waters, but their effects on…
