The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 12, 30 June 2025.α‐RoIA is an atypical N‐terminally elongated conotoxin discovered in Conus rolani. N‐terminal elongation delays activity in vivo; however, this elongation must be removed to block muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Only the truncated ribbon isoform of RoIA blocks muscle nAChRs.

Ritualistic Male–Male Combat of the Northern King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) in Thailand
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.Following the recent taxonomic split of the king cobra complex, it is important to provide new information and context to behaviors and natural history linked to each new species. We therefore provide detailed observations of ritualistic male–male combat of the newly described northern king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah).

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.
