We've published quite a bit lately about the evolution of venom in snakes. I"ve uploaded the papers to the publications section of my webpage www.venomdoc.com

No worries. ;-) Glad to help out. The evolution of venom in snakes is something truly amazing in the natural world. All off the conventions have been thrown into a pressure cooker and something special has emerged. Absolutely fascinating.
Cheers
