## Abstract A mechanistic understanding of factors influencing the dispersal behavior of metamorph cane toads (__Bufo marinus__) has direct conservation relevance in Australia. These invasive anurans are toxic to native predators, and if we can predict their distribution across the landscape, we ca
## Abstract Resting plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (N) concentrations for intact toads (__Bufo paracnemis__) were 5.57Β±1.0 and 0.88Β±0.38 ng/ml, respectively. Exercise induced a significant increase in heart rate, blood pressure and plasma epinephrine (about 4.3 times), whereas norepineph
The cardiodynamic consequences of dry season dormancy in ectothermic vertebrates is not well known. Our hypothesis was that dormancy would reduce cardiac activity. We therefore determined oxygen uptake and cardiovascular function in aestivating toads, Bufo paracnemis, native to SΓ£o Paulo State, Braz
## Abstract I described the tactileβstimulated startle response (TSR) of wood frog (__Rana sylvatica__), bullfrog (__Rana catesbeiana__), and American toad (__Bufo americanus__) tadpoles. One purpose was to rank species in terms of maximum acceleration performance. Also, I tested whether anatomical
