Resumen:
Venoms are not uncommon biochemical weapons that only a
few species possess. It is estimated that 220,000 animal spe cies produce venom, corresponding to approximately 15%
of all animal species. Animal venom and poisons can be
found in almost all habitats that spiders, scorpions, snakes,
amphibians, hymenopteran insects, marine invertebrates,
anemones, or jellyfishes inhabit. Animal venom and poisons
are species-specific biococktails of dozens or even hundreds
of bioactive molecules (Oliveira et al. 2022), which have
arisen through positive evolutionary processes that enable
animals to improve predation efficiency, to defend and deter
competitors
