• Characterising functional venom profiles of anthozoans and medusozoans within their ecological context 

      Ashwood, Lauren M.; Norton, Raymond S.; Undheim, Eivind Andreas Baste; Hurwood, David A.; Prentis, Peter J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This review examines the current state of knowledge regarding toxins from anthozoans (sea anemones, coral, zoanthids, corallimorphs, sea pens and tube anemones). We provide an overview of venom from phylum Cnidaria and ...
    • A peptide toxin in ant venom mimics vertebrate EGF-like hormones to cause long-lasting hypersensitivity in mammals 

      Eagles, David A.; Saez, Natalie J.; Krishnarjuna, Bankala; Bradford, Julia J.; Chin, Yanni K.-Y.; Starobova, Hana; Mueller, Alexander; Reichelt, Melissa E.; Undheim, Eivind Andreas Baste; Norton, Raymond S.; Thomas, Walter G.; Vetter, Irina; King, Glenn F.; Robinson, Samuel D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Venoms are excellent model systems for studying evolutionary processes associated with predator–prey interactions. Here, we present the discovery of a peptide toxin, MIITX2-Mg1a, which is a major component of the venom of ...
    • Tentacle Morphological Variation Coincides with Differential Expression of Toxins in Sea Anemones 

      Ashwood, Lauren M.; Mitchell, Michaela; Madio, Bruno; Hurwood, David A.; King, Glenn F.; Undheim, Eivind Andreas Baste; Norton, Raymond S.; Prentis, Peter J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Phylum Cnidaria is an ancient venomous group defined by the presence of cnidae, specialised organelles that serve as venom delivery systems. The distribution of cnidae across the body plan is linked to regionalisation of ...
