The venom and telopodal defence systems of the centipede Lithobius forficatus are functionally convergent serial homologues
We used a combination of morphological, behavioural, proteomic and transcriptomic data to show that venom and telopodal gland systems in Lithobius forficatus are serial homologues that were convergently weaponized to function in predation and defence.
