Venom tradeoff shapes interspecific interactions, physiology and reproduction

J. M. Surm, S. J. Birch, J. Macrander, A. Jaimes-Becerra, A. Fridrich, R. Aharoni, R. Rozenblat, J. Sharabany, L. Appelbaum, A. M. Reitzel, Y. Moran

This study shows that reducing Nv1 toxin levels in sea anemones decreases predator defense but increases growth and reproductive rates, revealing a venom tradeoff.
