persistent coevolution between predator and prey. Recent research has challenged this …

Research on centipede venoms has led to the discovery of a diverse array of novel proteins
and peptides, including those with homology to previously discovered toxin families (eg …

Gene duplication followed by nucleotide differentiation is one of the simplest mechanisms to
develop new functions for genes. However, the evolutionary processes underlying the …
