The diversity of venom: the importance of behavior and venom system morphology in understanding its ecology and evolution
Venoms are one of the most convergent of animal traits known, and encompass a much
greater taxonomic and functional diversity than is commonly appreciated. This knowledge …

Advances in insect phylogeny at the dawn of the postgenomic era
Most species on Earth are insects and thus, understanding their evolutionary relationships is
key to understanding the evolution of life. Insect relationships are increasingly well …
