The Rhinella arenarum transcriptome: de novo assembly, annotation and gene prediction
(Nature Research, 2020-12)
The common toad Rhinella arenarum is widely distributed in Argentina, where it is utilised as an autochthonous model in ecotoxicological research and environmental toxicology. However, the lack of a reference genome makes ...
Spermatogenesis and plasma testosterone levels under field conditions, in males of the common toad (Rhinella arenarum Hensel, 1867), from the Monte Desert, Argentina
(Societe Royale Zoologique de Belgique, 2018-05)
The reproductive function in anurans depends on interactions between the hypothalamus, adenohypophysis and gonads, which are mediated by an endocrine circuit. We studied the relationship between reproductive and histological ...
Acute Toxicity of Metaldehyde in the Invasive Rice Snail Pomacea canaliculata and Sublethal Effects on Tadpoles of a Non-target Species (Rhinella arenarum)
(Springer, 2016)
We investigated the effects of exposure to molluscicidal metaldehyde(MET) on golden apple snail (GAS) Pomacea canaliculata and Rhinella arenarum tadpoles by assessing mortality and/or other effects via: acute toxicity ...
Toxicity characterization and environmental risk assessment of Mancozeb on the South American common toad Rhinella arenarum
(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-12)
Agricultural activity, especially the increasing use of pesticides, is considered one of the main reasons for the decline of amphibian populations. Mancozeb (MCZ) is one of the most used fungicides worldwide, despite its ...
Impact assessment of agriculture and livestock over age, longevity and growth of populations of common toad Rhinella arenarum (Anura: Bufonidae), central area of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2018-05)
The central area of Argentina has been greatly affected mainly due to urbanization and intensive agriculture (corn, soybean and cattle). Age, longevity and growth were determined in populations of the common toad, Rhinella ...
Blood biomarkers of common toad Rhinella arenarum following chlorpyrifos dermal exposure
(Sciendo, 2018-03)
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a broad spectrum pesticide commonly used for insect control, has great affinity for lipids and is thus a potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ...
Morphology and size of blood cells of Rhinella arenarum (Hensel, 1867) as environmental health assessment in disturbed aquatic ecosystem from central Argentina
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-11)
Four populations of Rhinella arenarum from aquatic environments with different degrees of disturbance in central Argentina were compared to assess the ability of cytomorphology and cytomorphometry of blood cells as a ...
Evaluation in situ of genotoxicity and stress in South American common toad Rhinella arenarum in environments related to fluorite mine
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-07)
Little attention has been paid to the impact of wastewater generated by mining activities on fluoride. In this study, we evaluated the hematology responses of common South American toad Rhinella arenarum inhabiting natural ...
MALDI-MS argininyl bufadienolide esters fingerprint from parotoid gland secretions of Rhinella arenarum : age, gender and seasonal variation
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-06)
In many amphibians, the granular glands can be grouped in special regions forming macroglands. This is the case of toads, characterized by the presence of a pair of parotoid macroglands, strategically located to give ...
