Rapid and Differential Evolution of the Venom Composition of a Parasitoid Wasp Depending on the Host Strain
Parasitoid wasps rely primarily on venom to suppress the immune response and regulate the physiology of their host. Intraspecific variability of venom protein composition has been documented in some species, but its evolutionary potential is poorly understood. We performed an experimental evolution...
