Qualitative and Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Venoms from Mexican Rattlesnakes
Despite the vast biodiversity of Mexican vipers, venom of endemic species has been barely studied. Here we analyzed the venom composition of three endemic species of rattlesnakes: Crotalus aquilus, C. triseriatus, and C. ravus.

Structural diversity of arthropod venom toxins
, 2018 Arthropods are a diverse and ancient group of invertebrate animals, which constitute approximately 75-85% of all known species on earth. Many arthropod species, such as spiders, scorpions and even some crustaceans, contain venoms that can be very complex,

Insights into function and evolution of parasitoid wasp venoms
, 2014 Most species in the order Hymenoptera are parasitoids that lay eggs and develop in or on the body of arthropod hosts. Several factors contribute to successful parasitism including venoms that wasps inject into hosts when ovipositing.
