Evolution of Venomous Animals and Their Toxins

This volume contains a section on the wider evolutionary context of venom in animals, the molecular evolutionary processes involved in generating diversity, and the concept of venom evolution as being driven by an arms race that also involves evolution of resistance to toxins by prey.

Acest volum contine o sectiune privind contextul evolutiv mai larg al veninului la animale, procesele moleculare de evolutie implicate in generarea diversitatii si conceptul de evolutie a veninului ca fiind condus de o cursa a inarmarilor care implica, de asemenea, evolutia rezistentei la toxine de catre prada. De asemenea, studiaza relatia dintre evolutia toxinelor si evolutia animalelor in care acestea au evoluat.
