Two experiments were performed. The first tested the hypothesis that the toad, Bufo marinus, will select a lower ambient temperature under dry environmental conditions. This behavioral response would reduce evaporative water loss and facilitate survival on land. The second experiment measured the ef

## Background: The toad's (bufo marinus) retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) has been used in many studies as a model for understanding its role and interaction with the neural retina (nr). in this study, the fine structure of the rpe is described. ## Methods: In vitro rpe-chorion preparations from
## 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 The mechanism of flow redistribution in the carotid labyrinth of the toad, __Bufo marinus__, was investigated by exposing salineβperfused labyrinths and cultured explants of cells from the __pars capillaris__ or __p. cavernosa__ to various vasoactive compounds. In addition, the presence
