Microbial adaptation to venom is common in snakes and spiders

E. Esmaeilishirazifard, L. Usher, C. Trim, H. Denise, V. Sangal, G. H. Tyson, A. Barlow, K. Redway, J. D. Taylor, M. Kremmyda-Vlachou, S. Davies, T. D. Loftus, M. M. G. Lock, K. Wright, A. Dalby, , S. A. Moschos

The paper identifies bacterial colonization in cobra venom that acquires genes counteracting venom antimicrobial peptides, challenging the sterility of venoms.

How do King Cobras move across a major highway? Unintentional wildlife crossing structures may facilitate movement.

M. D. Jones, B. M. Marshall, S. N. Smith, M. Crane, I. Silva, T. Artchawakom, P. Suwanwaree, S. Waengsothorn, W. Wuster, M. Goode, C. T. Strine

This study investigates how King Cobras cross a major highway in Thailand and finds that unintentional crossing structures may help them safely traverse roads.

When one phenotype is not enough - divergent evolutionary trajectories govern venom variation in a widespread rattlesnake species

G. Zancolli, J. J. Calvete, M. D. Cardwell, H. W. Greene, W. K. Hayes, M. J. Hegarty, H.-W. Herrmann, A. T. Holycross, D. I. Lannutti, J. F. Mulley, L. Sanz, Z. D. Travis, J. R. Whorley, C. E. Wuster, W. Wuster

This study shows that venom variation in rattlesnakes is driven by divergent selective pressures acting on separate toxin genes, not diet or neutral population structure.
