Venom variation during prey capture by the cone snail, Conus textile. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Observations of the mollusc-hunting cone snail Conus textile during feeding reveal that prey are often stung multiple times in succession. While studies on the venom peptides injected by fish-hunting cone snails have become common, these approaches have ...

Comparative proteomic study of the venom of the piscivorous cone snail Conus consors
Journal of Proteomics, 2009 In the context of an exhaustive study of the piscivorous cone snail Conus consors, we performed an in-depth analysis of the intact molecular masses that can be detected in the animal's venom, using MALDI and ESI mass spectrometry. We clearly demonstrated

Venomics Reveals a Non-Compartmentalised Venom Gland in the Early Diverged Vermivorous Conus distans
Toxins, 2022 The defensive use of cone snail venom is hypothesised to have first arisen in ancestral worm-hunting snails and later repurposed in a compartmentalised venom duct to facilitate the dietary shift to molluscivory and piscivory.
