Some like it hot: population-specific adaptations in venom production to abiotic stressors in a widely distributed cnidarian
Abstract Background In cnidarians, antagonistic interactions with predators and prey are mediated by their venom, whose synthesis may be metabolically expensive. The potentially high cost of venom production has been hypothesized to drive population-specific variation in venom expression due to diff...
