Feral pig predation threatens the indigenous harvest and local persistence of snake-necked turtles in northern Australia (2006, background): “Customary harvest rates are already compromised by the invasive cane toad (Bufo marinus; Altman et al., 2003), an exotic anuran that threatens the persistence of a number of terrestrial reptiles in northern Australia (Burnett, 1997; Phillips et al., 2003).”
Modern approaches for the biological control of vertebrate pests: An Australian perspective (2010, background): “Such predators that attempt to consume toads are killed very quickly (Phillips et al., 2003).”
Toad on the road: use of roads as dispersal corridors by cane toads (Bufo marinus) at an invasion front in tropical Australia. (2006, background): “Eggs, tadpoles and terrestrial-stage cane toads all possess potent poisons (bufodienolides) that are fatal to many predators if ingested, especially if those predators are from regions of the world lacking bufonid anurans ( Phillips et al., 2003; Smith and Phillips, in press).”
