Cane Toad The cane toad, Bufo marinus, or giant toad, was introduced to Australia by the sugar cane industry with government sanction, in order to control two specific pests of sugar cane. The grey backed cane beetle and the frenchie beetle. Native to Central and South America, the... ...
creatures that can live in urban areas as well as in undisturbed nature. Cane toads absorb water through their skin and require some form of moisture in theirenvironmentto survive, which allows them to live in habitats such asdunes, coastalgrasslands, and the edges ofmangroveswampsandrainforests....

Associate Professor Rick Shine: "The research has implications for how we assess the impact of invasive species." (Phys.org) —Climate change is one of a number of stressors that cause species to disperse to new locations. Scientists must be able to predict dispersal rates accurately, as the...
Cane toads are invasive, toxic to native predators, compete with native insectivores, and have a devastating impact on Australian ecosystems, prompting the Australian government to list toads as a key threatening process under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

16. Quantifying investment into those chemicals is facilitated by the fact that most toad toxins are produced and stored in parotoid (shoulder) macroglands, whose dimensions can be easily and accurately measured on live animals17,18(Fig.1). Importantly, cane toads have invaded many areas out...
