Activity of two key toxin groups in Australian elapid venoms show a strong correlation to phylogeny but not to diet

BACKGROUND: The relative influence of diet and phylogeny on snake venom activity is a poorly understood aspect of snake venom evolution. We measured the activity of two enzyme toxin groups – phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), and L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) – in the venom of 39 species of Australian elapi...
