Worldwide Web: High Venom Potency and Ability to Optimize Venom Usage Make the Globally Invasive Noble False Widow Spider <i>Steatoda nobilis</i> (Thorell, 1875) (Theridiidae) Highly Competitive against Native European Spiders Sharing the Same Habitats

Venom compositions include complex mixtures of toxic proteins that evolved to immobilize/dissuade organisms by disrupting biological functions. Venom production is metabolically expensive, and parsimonious use is expected, as suggested by the venom optimisation hypothesis. The decision-making capaci...
