A plethora of rodents: Rattlesnake predators generate unanticipated patterns of venom resistance in a grassland ecosystem
Predation has the potential to impart strong selective pressures on organisms within their environments, resulting in adaptive changes in prey that minimize risk of predation. Pressures from venomous snakes present an exceptional challenge to prey, as venom represents a unique chemical arsenal evolu...
