The antifungal effect of bombinins in the skin makes them promising for use in food packaging to slow spoilage.1
A population in Lorraine, France, lives more than 500 km from its natural range, probably because people moved them there on purpose.1
Dozens of ponds dug in Funen County, Denmark, helped increase the population about five-fold in a decade.1
The prokineticin family of compounds was first discovered in this species and the yellow-bellied toad.1
