Highly Evolvable: Investigating Interspecific and Intraspecific Venom Variation in Taipans (<i>Oxyuranus</i> spp.) and Brown Snakes (<i>Pseudonaja</i> spp.)

Highly Evolvable: Investigating Interspecific and Intraspecific Venom Variation in Taipans (<i>Oxyuranus</i> spp.) and Brown Snakes (<i>Pseudonaja</i> spp.)

Snake venoms are complex mixtures of toxins that differ on interspecific (between species) and intraspecific (within species) levels. Whether venom variation within a group of closely related species is explained by the presence, absence and/or relative abundances of venom toxins remains largely unk...
