Snakebite: When the human touch becomes a bad touch
BG Fry - Toxins, 2018 - mdpi.com
Many issues and complications in treating snakebite are a result of poor human social,
economic and clinical intervention and management. As such, there is scope for significant …

Evidence for divergent patterns of local selection driving venom variation in Mojave Rattlesnakes (Crotalus scutulatus)
Snake venoms represent an enriched system for investigating the evolutionary processes
that lead to complex and dynamic trophic adaptations. It has long been hypothesized that …
