It also studies the relationship between the evolution of toxins and the evolution of the animals that they evolved within. The last section discusses the evolution of venom delivery systems. The definition of a venomous animal, as opposed to a poisonous one, encompasses the evolution not just of toxins but also a specialized mechanism for administering them by injection. . 410 0$aToxinology,$x2542-761X 606 $aToxicology 615 0$aToxicology. 676 $a615.9 702 $aGopalakrishnakone$b P. 702 $aMalhotra$b Anita 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484982603321 996 $aEvolution of Venomous Animals and Their Toxins$92079007 997 $aUNINA
