Studies on the sedative effect of barbital sodium on frogs and toads from different habitats.

چکیده
Extensive use of barbiturates as sedative, anti··convulsant and anaesthetic drugs is well known. Most of the information available on these drugs is on mammals (1. 2~ 8, 9). It may, therefore. be interesting to study the effect of these classes of drugs on other vertebrates, such as amphibians and hence the present investigations on the sedative effect of barbital sodium on four species of frogs and a toad from different habitats were undertaken.

Quantifying Anuran Microhabitat Use to Infer the Potential for Parasite Transmission between Invasive Cane Toads and Two Species of Australian Native Frogs
Parasites that are carried by invasive species can infect native taxa, with devastating consequences. In Australia, invading cane toads (Rhinella marina) carry lungworm parasites (Rhabdias pseudosphaerocephala) that (based on previous laboratory studies) can infect native treefrogs (Litoria caerulea and L. splendida). To assess the potential of parasite transmission from the invader to the nati...

Larvae of certain species of blowflies (Calliphoridae) can cause myiasis in frogs and toads, but there are few reports from North American amphibians. Of these, most are from toads (bufonids). In this study, we observe primary myiasis in a population of juvenile wood frogs, Rana sylvatica, collected on 22-23 August 2003, from southeastern Wisconsin and compare our observations with previous stu...

متن کاملPredation of Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
Studies of predation of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae) have focused on a limited number of predator taxa, such as birds and ants, while other potential predators have received limited attention. I here consider amphibians as predators of ladybirds. Published amphibian gut analyses show that ladybirds are quite often eaten by frogs and toads (Anura), with recorded frequencies reaching up to 15...
متن کاملDo invasive cane toads affect the parasite burdens of native Australian frogs?☆
One of the most devastating impacts of an invasive species is the introduction of novel parasites or diseases to native fauna. Invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in Australia contain several types of parasites, raising concern that the toads may increase rates of parasitism in local anuran species. We sampled cane toads and sympatric native frogs (Limnodynastes peronii, Litoria latopalmata, ...
