Some like it hot: population-specific adaptations in venom production to abiotic stressors in a widely distributed cnidarian

Sachkova, Maria; Macrander, Jason; Surm, Joachim M.; Aharoni, Reuven; Menard-Harvey, Shelcie S.; Klock, Amy; Leach, Whitney B.; Reitzel, Adam M.; Moran, Yehu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09)

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 ...
Toxin-like neuropeptides in the sea anemone Nematostella unravel recruitment from the nervous system to venom

Sachkova, Maria; Landau, Morani; Surm, Joachim M.; Macrander, Jason; Singer, Shir A.; Reitzel, Adam M.; Moran, Yehu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)

The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa, Cnidaria) is a powerful model for characterizing the evolution of genes functioning in venom and nervous systems. Although venom has evolved independently numerous times ...
