Evolution, Morphology, and Development of the Centipede Venom Systeme of terrestrial venomous organisms. However, despite their global distribution, synanthropic habits, and reputation for inflicting painful stings, little is known about centipedes and their venom system. This chapter reviews the current knowledge on the development, the evolutionary trajectory, the

Evolutionary History of Venom Glands in the Siluriformesail. These include selective scenarios to explain the secondary losses of venom glands in several catfish species and families, compositional variation in siluriform venom chemistry, and the derivation of venom glands from secretory cells of the epidermis. Future work directly addressing multiple is

Evolution of the Snake Venom Delivery Systemthe maxilla. Caenophidians are often referred to by the position of their fangs as either rear- or front-fanged snakes. The vast majority of snakes that are medically important to humans are front-fanged, and this character has evolved independently on at least three occasions. In addition, some fro

Current hypothetical predictions indicate that venom toxicity and resistance form an antagonistic dyad

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-92406-4he presence of putative toxin proteins in the saliva of species usually regarded as non-venomous, and the expression of venom gene homologs in their salivary glands, led to the hypothesis that venom evolved a single time in reptiles. As the single, early origin of venom is synonymous with the Toxico
