Angellica Fernandes de Oliveira, Lindsey Castoldi, Gerardo Magela Vieira Júnior et al. · Acta Amazonica · 2019-04 · open access
ABSTRACT The skin secretion from toads of the Bufonidae family has great potential in the search for new active compounds to be used as drug candidates in treating some diseases, among them cancer. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic and antimutagenic activity of the…
- Comparative cytogenetics of nine populations of the Rhinella genus (Anura, Bufonidae) with a highlight on their conservative karyotype.
Bruschi DP, Sousa DY, Soares A et al. · Genetics and molecular biology · 2019-04 · open access
The genus Rhinella is one of the most diverse groups of bufonid toads, currently composed by 93 valid species and naturally distributed throughout different Neotropical ecoregions. Here, we analyze nine Brazilian populations of toads representing species of the Rhinella margaritifera and Rhinella…
- Biochemical and Biological Profile of Parotoid Secretion of the Amazonian Rhinella marina (Anura: Bufonidae).
de Medeiros DSS, Rego TB, Dos Santos APA et al. · BioMed research international · 2019-02 · open access
Skin secretions of frogs have a high chemical complexity. They have diverse types of biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, biogenic amines, and alkaloids. These compounds protect amphibians' skin against growth of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa and participate in defense system against attack…
- Northern quoll persistence is most sensitive to survivorship of juveniles
Dorian Moro, Judy Dunlop, Matthew R. Williams · Wildlife Research · 2019-02
- Patterns of fluctuating asymmetry in the limbs of anurans.
Didde RD, Rivera G · Journal of morphology · 2019-02
- Rapid adaptation to cold in the invasive cane toad Rhinella marina .
Mittan CS, Zamudio KR · Conservation physiology · 2019-02 · open access
Introduction How organisms respond to novel environments is a critical question in ecology and evolution. With climate change predicted to increase rapidly, an understanding of whether organisms can persist, and through what mechanisms, has gained urgency. Adaptive plasticity, the ability of an…

Lenaerts C, Wells M, Hambÿe S et al. · Journal of separation science · 2019-02
- Novel habitat causes a shift to diurnal activity in a nocturnal species.
Doody JS, McHenry CR, Rhind D et al. · Scientific reports · 2019-01 · open access
Plastic responses may allow individuals to survive and reproduce in novel environments, and can facilitate the establishment of viable populations. But can novel environments reveal plasticity by causing a shift in a behavior as fundamental and conspicuous as daily activity? We studied daily…
- Induction of phytoalexins and proteins related to pathogenesis in plants treated with extracts of cutaneous secretions of southern Amazonian Bufonidae amphibians.
Deice Raasch-Fernandes L, Bonaldo SM, de Jesus Rodrigues D et al. · PloS one · 2019-01 · open access
Cutaneous secretions produced by amphibians of the family Bufonidae are rich sources of bioactive compounds that can be useful as new chemical templates for agrochemicals. In crop protection, the use of elicitors to induce responses offers the prospect of durable, broad-spectrum disease control…

- Morphological and biochemical characterization of the cutaneous poison glands in toads ( Rhinella marina group) from different environments.
Mailho-Fontana PL, Antoniazzi MM, Sciani JM et al. · Frontiers in zoology · 2018-11 · open access
Background Amphibian defence against predators and microorganisms is directly related to cutaneous glands that produce a huge number of different toxins. These glands are distributed throughout the body but can form accumulations in specific regions. When grouped in low numbers, poison glands form…
- A taxonomically and geographically constrained information base limits non-native reptile and amphibian risk assessment: a systematic review.
van Wilgen NJ, Gillespie MS, Richardson DM et al. · PeerJ · 2018-11 · open access
For many taxa, new records of non-native introductions globally occur at a near exponential rate. We undertook a systematic review of peer-reviewed publications on non-native herpetofauna, to assess the information base available for assessing risks of future invasions, resulting in 836 relevant…
