  1. Evolution of Toxin Resistance in the Grasshopper Mouse: A Comparative Genomics Perspective

    Pérez Calles, ClaudiaUniversity of Cambridge2025

    … predatory grasshopper mice have co-evolved resistance to painful and lethal neurotoxins produced by their scorpion prey. Interestingly, toxin resistance in the three species of grasshopper mice (Onychomys torridus, Onychomys leucogaster, and Onychomys arenicola) varies; Onychomys torridus …

  2. Phenotypic consequences of adaptive toxin production and resistance in coevolutionary partners

    Moniz, Haley Allison2022

    … (Taricha) are defended by a highly potent neurotoxin. This neurotoxin makes them too dangerous for nearly all vertebrates to consume. Taricha are defended by tetrodotoxin (TTX) which blocks voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) and inhibits nerve activation and muscle function, typically leading …

  3. Evolutionary Patterns of Avian Tetrodotoxin Resistance

    Shahnam, Cyrus AlexanderVirginia Tech2026

    Beyond Arms Races: Evolution of Tetrodotoxin-Binding Sites in Avian Naᵥ Channels Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels (Naᵥ), inhibiting nerve and muscle function. Some species possess TTX as an anti-predator defense, and some predator species have …

  4. Adaptive evolution, sex-linkage, and gene conversion in the voltage-gated sodium channels of toxic newts and their snake predators

    Gendreau, KerryVirginia Tech2022

    … These include the convergent evolution of tetrodotoxin resistance in snakes, which has a simple genetic basis and can be used as a model system to investigate the genetic basis of adaptive evolution. Tetrodotoxin is a potent neurotoxin used as a chemical defense by various animals, including toxic …

    Kang, Jung kooUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2013

    … covered over 66 million hectares in 2011. Insect resistance management (IRM) is implemented to protect the efficacy of commercial transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins because the benefits of the pest susceptibility to Bt toxins is considered as a common good. Simulation models …
