The influence of ecological factors on cnidarian venoms [PDF]
Toxicon: X, 2021 Venom research is often focussed on medical relevance, novel compounds and venom evolution, whilst studying the relationship between a venom and its environment – venom ecology - has been conducted to a lesser extent.

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown-of-Thorns Sea Star Attack. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Cnidarian toxins: recent evidences for potential therapeutic uses
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Marine toxins have received global attention for their involvement in human intoxication. Many marine phyla are well adapted to produce venoms or toxins protect themselves from associated micro fauna, predators and pathogens.
