Profile C18-RP-HPLC (λ = 214 nm) of poison extracted from different glandular accumulations. (a) Rhinella icterica. Dorsal warts (red) and parotoids (black). (b) Rhinella marina. Dorsal warts (red) and parotoids (black). (c) Rhinella schneideri. Dorsal warts (red), parotoids (black) and tibial (paracnemic) macroglands (blue). (d) Rhinella jimi. Dorsal warts (red), parotoids (black), tibial (paracnemic) macroglands (blue) and radial macroglands (green). The numbers refer to the molecules identified in the poisons. Circles around the numbers correspond to exclusive molecules in each poison. Note that only in R. jimi the chromatographic profiles are similar for all types of glandular accumulations indicating the same poison composition
