Prey specificity of predatory venoms
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.
