The first venomous crustacean revealed by transcriptomics and functional morphology: remipede venom glands express a unique toxin cocktail dominated by enzymes and a neurotoxin

, 2014
Animal venoms have evolved many times. Venomous species are especially common in three of the four main groups of arthropods (Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Hexapoda), which together represent tens of thousands of species of venomous spiders, scorpions ...

Evaluating the Molecular Potential and Interpretability of DNA in Historical Spirit Collection Media

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Advancements in historical genomics increasingly leverage museum collections to study past ecosystems, species interactions and biodiversity. Formalin‐fixed, ethanol‐preserved specimens, once thought inaccessible to molecular analyses due to DNA degradation, are emerging as valuable genomic resources.

Coevolution of diet and prey-specific venom activity supports the role of selection in snake venom evolution

, 2009
The processes that drive the evolution of snake venom variability, particularly the role of diet, have been a topic of intense recent research interest. Here, we test whether extensive variation in venom composition in the medically important viper genus

Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid nasonia species [PDF]

, 2010
We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. tongicomis. Parasitoids are important regulators of arthropod populations, including major agricultural pests and

Epidemiological aspects of centipede (Scolopendromorphae: Chilopoda) bites registered in Greater S. Paulo, SP, Brazil

Revista de Saúde Pública
INTRODUCTION: The lack of basic knowledge on venomous arthropods and the benignity of the clinical manifestations contribute to the centipede bite victims' not being taken to a treatment reference center, leading to underestimation of the number of cases

Séquençage De Novo du transcriptome de la fourmi Tetramorium bicarinatum

, 2014
International audienceBackground: Arthropod venoms are invaluable sources of bioactive substances with biotechnological application. The limited availability of some venoms, such as those from ants, has restricted the knowledge about the composition and ...

Natural Occurrence in Venomous Arthropods of Antimicrobial Peptides Active against Protozoan Parasites

, 2019
Arthropoda is a phylum of invertebrates that has undergone remarkable evolutionary radiation, with a wide range of venomous animals. Arthropod venom is a complex mixture of molecules and a source of new compounds, including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).

A Dipteran’s Novel Sucker Punch: Evolution of Arthropod Atypical Venom with a Neurotoxic Component in Robber Flies (Asilidae, Diptera)

, 2018
Predatory robber flies (Diptera, Asilidae) have been suspected to be venomous due to their ability to overpower well-defended prey. However, details of their venom composition and toxin arsenal remained unknown.
