- Pharmacokinetics of Transdermal Flunixin Meglumine Following a Single Dose in Marine Toads ( Rhinella marina ).
Scott G, Louis MM, Balko JA et al. · Veterinary medicine international · 2020-08 · open access
Transdermal administration is an important method of pharmacologic drug therapy in amphibians, made possible by their unique skin physiology and permeability. Despite this, there are relatively few studies that investigate transdermal pharmacokinetics in amphibians. The objective of this study was…

- Colonization history affects heating rates of invasive cane toads.
Kosmala GK, Brown GP, Shine R · Scientific reports · 2020-07 · open access
Amphibians in hot climates may be able to avoid high temperatures by controlling their rates of heating. In northern Australia, invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) experience hot dry conditions in newly-colonized (western) sites but milder conditions in longer-occupied (eastern) sites. Under…

- Apparent lack of spill-over of parasites from an invasive anuran: PCR detects Entamoeba in cane toads ( Rhinella marina ) but not in sympatric Australian native frogs.
Rivory P, Brown G, Shilton C et al. · International journal for parasitology. Parasites and wildlife · 2020-06 · open access
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. Considering the vulnerability of anuran communities globally, Entamoeba sp. CT1 may…

- Exposure of cane toad hatchlings to older conspecifics suppresses chemosensory food tracking behaviour and increases risk of predation post-exposure.
McCann S, Crossland M, Shine R · PloS one · 2020-05 · open access
Attempts to control invasive species using species-specific pheromones need to incorporate an understanding of interactive effects among those pathways. The larvae of invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) utilise chemical cues to repulse, attract or suppress conspecific larvae. We can exploit these…
- Niche shifts and environmental non-equilibrium undermine the usefulness of ecological niche models for invasion risk assessments.
Pili AN, Tingley R, Sy EY et al. · Scientific reports · 2020-05 · open access
Niche shifts and environmental non-equilibrium in invading alien species undermine niche-based predictions of alien species' potential distributions and, consequently, their usefulness for invasion risk assessments. Here, we compared the realized climatic niches of four alien amphibian species…

- A new species of Cosmocerca (Nematoda, Ascaridomorpha) from the marine toad Rhinella marina (Linnaeus) (Anura, Bufonidae) in Australia.
Ni XF, Barton DP, Chen HX et al. · ZooKeys · 2020-04 · open access
The marine toad Rhinella marina (Linnaeus) (Anura, Bufonidae) is a notorious, exotic amphibian species in Australia. However, our present knowledge of the composition of the nematode fauna of R. marina is still not complete. In the present study, a new cosmocercid nematode, Cosmocerca…

- Diurnal activity in cane toads (Rhinella marina) is geographically widespread.
Pettit L, Ducatez S, DeVore JL et al. · Scientific reports · 2020-03 · open access
Although adult cane toads (Rhinella marina) are generally active only at night, a recent study reported that individuals of this species switched to diurnal activity in response to encountering a novel habitat type (deeply shaded gorges) in the course of their Australian invasion. Our sampling over…
