A hot knot of toads: Aggregation provides thermal benefits to metamorphic Andean toads
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008-02)
We tested the thermal benefits of aggregation ("knotting") for a high-elevation (>4300 m) population of metamorphic Rhinella spinulosa. Fewer knots were recorded when the sun was low on the horizon and aggregating toads ...
The effect of short- and long-term fasting on digestive and metabolic flexibility in the Andean toad, Bufo spinulosus
(2009)
Hibernation in ectothermic animals was historically considered as a simple cold-induced torpor state resulting from the inability to maintain a high body temperature at low ambient temperatures. During the last decades ...
Digestive morphology and enzyme activity in the andean toad, bufo spinulosus: hard-wired or flexible physiology?

Thermal ecology of the post–metamorphic Andean toad (Rhinella spinulosa) at elevation in the monte desert, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-08)
Rhinella spinulosa is an anuran toad species distributed latitudinal and altitudinal (1200-5000. m) from Peru to Argentina, inhabiting mountain valleys in the Andes. Considering the broad range of habitats where they live, ...
Adaptation of the andean toad rhinella spinulosa (Anura: Bufonidae) at low temperatures: The role of glucose as cryoprotectant
(University of Chicago Press, 2019-06)
We studied the role of plasma glucose concentration, on individuals of R. spinulosa, in response to the annual temperature variation and freezing temperatures. Measurements and the collection of toads were made every two ...
