Since the early 2000s, studies of the evolution of venom within animals have rapidly
expanded, offering new revelations on the origins and development of venom within various …

Predatory bugs employ a salivary venom apparatus to generate complex venoms for
capturing and digesting prey. The venom apparatus consists of different glands for the …

Animal venoms are a rich source of novel biomolecules with potential applications in
medicine and agriculture. Ants are one of the most species-rich lineages of venomous …

Background Venoms are ecological innovations that have evolved numerous times, on each
occasion accompanied by the co-evolution of specialised morphological and behavioural …

Assassin bug venoms are potent and exert diverse biological functions, making them
potential biomedical goldmines. Besides feeding functions on arthropods, assassin bugs …

True water bugs (Nepomorpha) are mostly predacious insects that live in aquatic habitats.
They use their piercing–sucking mouthparts to inject venomous saliva that facilitates the …

Predatory assassin bugs produce venomous saliva that enables them to overwhelm, kill,
and pre-digest large prey animals. Venom from the posterior main gland (PMG) of the …

Heteroptera belongs to a group of highly diversified insect forms ranging from plant feeders,
blood-feeders, predators, scavengers, detritivores, and fungivores with terrestrial or aquatic …

Triatomines have evolved salivary glands that produce versatile molecules with various
biological functions, including those leading their interactions with vertebrate hosts' …

Simple Summary We studied the salivary venom of a predatory stink bug, which captures
prey by injecting venom through their specialized stylets. We aimed to understand the …
