The genetics of venom ontogeny in the eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus)
The same selective forces that give rise to rapid inter- and intraspecific divergence in snake venoms can also favor differences in venoms across life-history stages. Ontogenetic changes in venom composition are well known and widespread in snakes but have not been investigated to the level of unamb...
