Coevolution of Snake Venom Toxic Activities and Diet: Evidence that Ecological Generalism Favours Toxicological Diversity

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Snake venom evolution is typically considered to be predominantly driven by diet-related selection pressures. Most evidence for this is based on lethality to prey and non-prey species and on the identification of prey specific toxins.

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...
