Venom lethality and diet: Differential responses of natural prey and model organisms to the venom of the saw-scaled vipers (Echis)

The composition of snake venoms shows a high degree of variation at all taxonomic levels, and natural selection for diet has been implicated as a potential cause. Saw-scaled vipers (Echis) provide a good model for studying this phenomenon. The venoms of arthropod feeding species of Echis are signifi...
