This paper demonstrates CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in cane toads to produce albino phenotypes, achieving high editing efficiency and germline transmission.

This study examines how lungworm infection affects miRNA and mRNA expression in cane toads, finding upregulated miRNAs linked to immune response pathways and minimal mRNA changes.

The paper investigates whether DNA methylation changes mediate developmental plasticity in cane toad tadpoles exposed to cannibal or alarm cues, finding distinct methylation patterns for each cue type.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes of cane toads across their invasion trajectory, revealing genetic bottlenecks and previously underestimated diversity in introduced populations.

This paper assembles the first reference genome for Rhabdias pseudosphaerocephala and uses it to investigate genetic diversity and evolutionary placement within the Rhabdiasidae family.

The paper compares brain transcriptomes of invasive cane toads from different populations to identify gene expression differences linked to dispersal behaviour during range expansion.

The paper shows that filtering parameter choices in reduced representation sequencing analyses impact population structure detection, depending on the inherent genetic differentiation of the dataset.

The paper examines how neuromodulators shape a low-dimensional integrative core in the brain that supports diverse cognitive tasks through dynamic neural activity patterns.
