- Faunal Diet of Adult Cane Toads, Rhinella marina , in the Urban Landscape of Southwest Florida.
Schuman MJ, Snyder SL, Smoak CH et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2023-09 · open access
We investigated the diet of cane toads ( Rhinella marina ) inhabiting urbanized areas in southwest Florida to provide high taxonomic resolution of prey items, contrast toad diets between sampling seasons and sexes, and assess this invasive species' ecological role in the urban landscape. A pest…

- Long term monitoring reveals the importance of large, long unburnt areas and smaller fires in moderating mammal declines in fire‐prone Savanna of northern Australia
Luke D. Einoder, A. Fisher, Brydie M. Hill et al. · Journal of Applied Ecology · 2023-08 · open access
Abstract Biodiversity loss is often attributable to multiple interacting pressures that are moderated across environmental gradients. These processes contribute to complex responses that are challenging to interpret and understand. Well‐designed and well‐implemented monitoring can play a vital role…

Velázquez-Urrieta Y, Velarde-Aguilar MG, Oceguera-Figueroa A et al. · Systematic parasitology · 2023-07 · open access
Specimens of Foleyellides were collected from the body cavity of frogs in different regions of Mexico; Lithobates brownorum from Yucatán, Quintana Roo and Campeche; L. megapoda from Jalisco and Rhinella marina, from Guerrero. Foleyellides calakmulesis n. sp. is described based on specimens found…
- Rapidly evolved traits enable new conservation tools: perspectives from the cane toad invasion of Australia.
Shine R, Baeckens S · Evolution; international journal of organic evolution · 2023-07 · open access
Natural populations can show rapid adaptive responses to intense (human-mediated) environmental change. The potential for exploiting rapidly evolved traits for conservation management has been often discussed but rarely implemented. Capitalizing on a well-studied biological invasion, we here…
- Photonic radar for contactless vital sign detection
Ziqian Zhang, Yang Liu, Tegan Stephens et al. · Nature Photonics · 2023-06 · open access
Abstract Vital sign detection is used across ubiquitous scenarios in medical and health settings, and contact and wearable sensors have been widely deployed. However, they are unsuitable for patients with burn wounds or infants with insufficient areas for attachment. Contactless detection can be…
- A biological invasion reduces rates of cannibalism by Japanese toad tadpoles.
Crossland MR, Shine R, Haramura T · Scientific reports · 2023-06 · open access
Biological invasions can favour rapid changes in intraspecific competitive mechanisms such as cannibalism by imposing novel evolutionary pressures. For example, cane toad (Rhinella marina) tadpoles are highly cannibalistic on eggs and hatchlings in their invasive range in Australia, but not in…
- Invasional meltdown-under? Toads facilitate cats by removing a naïve top predator

- A retrospective study of cane toad (Rhinella marina) toxicity in 190 domestic cats in Southeastern Queensland: Clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes.
Leong OS, Padula AM, Webster RA et al. · Australian veterinary journal · 2023-03 · open access
Objective To report the clinical presentations, treatments and outcomes of toad toxicity in domestic cats in Southeastern Queensland, Australia. Methods This report describes a retrospective study of 190 cases of cane toad (Rhinella marina) toxicity in cats in south-eastern Queensland, Australia.…
- First national assessment of wildlife mortality in Ecuador: An effort from citizens and academia to collect roadkill data at country scale.
Medrano-Vizcaíno P, Brito-Zapata D, Rueda-Vera A et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2023-03 · open access
Ecuador has both high richness and high endemism, which are increasingly threatened by anthropic pressures, including roads. Research evaluating the effects of roads remains scarce, making it difficult to develop mitigation plans. Here, we present the first national assessment of wildlife mortality…
- Can conditioned taste aversion be deployed at a landscape level to mitigate the impact of invasive cane toads on northern quolls?
Naomi Indigo, Ella L. Kelly, James Smith et al. · Wildlife Research · 2023-02
- Geographic variation in bacterial assemblages on cane toad skin is influenced more by local environments than by evolved changes in host traits.
Weitzman CL, Kaestli M, Rose A et al. · Biology open · 2023-02 · open access
Bacterial assemblages on amphibian skin may play an important role in protecting hosts against infection. In hosts that occur over a range of environments, geographic variation in composition of bacterial assemblages might be due to direct effects of local factors and/or to evolved characteristics…
- Hindlimb muscle spindles inform preparatory forelimb coordination prior to landing in toads.
Duman A, Azizi E · The Journal of experimental biology · 2023-01 · open access
Animals move across a wide range of surface conditions in real-world environments to acquire resources and avoid predation. To effectively navigate a variety of surfaces, animals rely on several mechanisms including intrinsic mechanical responses, spinal-level central pattern generators, and neural…
