## Abstract The Bidder's organ (BO) of male true toads of Bufonidae family is located in the anterior pole of the testis and it has been compared to a rudimentary ovary because of the presence of previtellogenic follicles. In some species, BO remains in both sexes, while in others only adult males
## Abstract In toads, both males and females develop a unique gonadal structure called the Bidder's organ (BO), which resembles ovarian tissue and is attached to the anterior part of the gonad. It is not clear whether the BO is a vestigial organ, or has an endocrine function. In this study, we inve
## Abstract Anemia induced experimentally either by administration of phenylhydrazine or by splenectomy stimulated spermatogenic and steroidogenic activities in the testes of the toad (__Bufo melanostictus__). It is concluded that the stimulated activity of the testes is mediated through the hypoth
## Abstract Function and compensatory growth of the testis have been studied in male toads of varying ages, ranging from postmetamorphosis to adults. All experiments lasted 2 months, starting about September 1. Spermatogenesis was normal in sexually immature, 1βyearβold toads. The fastest growing y
