Phylogeny-based comparative analysis of venom proteome variation in a clade of rattlesnakes (Sistrurus sp.).

A long-standing question in evolutionary studies of snake venoms is the extent to which phylogenetic divergence and diet can account for between-species differences in venom composition. Here we apply phylogeny-based comparative methods to address this question. We use data on venom variation genera...
