“…Testing adaptive hypotheses requires careful analysis of phenotypic characters whose variation has clear functional consequences. Venoms directly affect the ability of an individual snake to immobilize and kill its prey [31,[34][35][36][37]. For B. atrox, a snake with a generalist diet that includes arthropods, frogs, lizards, birds, and small mammals [38,39], the functional diversity of the venoms could represent a local adaptation of individual venoms in each population to different sets of prey.…”

“…We have a preliminary understanding of the effect of venoms (Zimmerman K.D. et al, 1992) and specific components of venoms (Zimmerman et al, 1993) of true sea snakes on various species of fish, but much more needs to be done before the mechanism of the action of venoms, or how venoms evolved, is fully known. For example, little is currently known about the role, if any, of the nephrotoxic component of marine snakes' venom.…”
