Crotalus durissus terrificus venom as a source of antitumoral agents [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010 The basic knowledge on neoplasms is increasing quickly; however, few advances have been achieved in clinical therapy against tumors. For this reason, the development of alternative drugs is relevant in the attempt to improve prognosis and to increase patients' survival. Snake venoms are natural sources of bioactive substances with therapeutic potential.

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.By comparing native and neonative populations of an Amazonian lizard, we examine how urban environments and climate change impact its functional traits, while also predicting its future distribution. Our findings offer insights into how some species may adapt to human‐altered landscapes, showing that not all are negatively affected by these changes ...

Effect of Food Mass in the Gut on the Metabolic Rate of Carcinus maenas in the Field
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.We measured the metabolic costs of digestion of crabs in the field to determine its impact relative to the many other factors that can influence metabolic rates. We show that the costs of digestion are detectable, but play a relatively minor role in the overall energetic costs of the European green crab.

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.
