## 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 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

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
