Venom proteins evolve rapidly, and as a trophic adaptation are excellent models for predator-prey evolutionary studies. The key to a deeper understanding of venom evolution is an integrated approach, combining prey assays with analysis of venom gene expression and venom phenotype. Here, we use such an approach to study venom evolution in the Amazon...
