About 3 years ago @anaturalist and I started on a quest to explore spider venoms and their evolution. Today I am excited to share our work (which recently got accepted in @eLife for publication), tracing the origin of spider venoms.

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

Unusually, nearly all spider venoms come from a single type of toxin.
Kartik Sunagar’s (@anaturalist) team traced them back to a common ancestor 375 million years ago named ‘Adi Shakti’, after the creator of the Universe in Hindu mythology. #eLifePodcast elifesciences.org/podcast/ep…

By comparatively analyzing the venoms of Mygalomorph and Araneomorph spiders, we highlight the lineage-specific recruitment of toxin superfamilies and their contrasting evolutionary diversification strategies.

I am grateful to @anaturalist for providing me the opportunity to work with this fascinating venom system and guiding me all along the way. Thankful to everyone at @LabVenomics and especially to @VivekSuranse and @SLaxme for all the endless debates and discussions.
