Does prey envenomation improve digestive performance in Agkistrodon piscivorus
Meeting Abstract P3.91 Tuesday, Jan. 6 Does prey envenomation improve digestive performance in Agkistrodon piscivorus? HAMPTON, P M; University of Louisiana, Lafayette pmh3227@louisiana.edu Pitviper venom is a combination of neurotoxins and proteolytic enzymes. It has been hypothesized that the tissue-destroying qualities of crotaline venom have evolved to enhance the digestion of large prey in cool environments, in […]
