The quaternionic Gauss-Lucas Theorem [PDF]
, 2016 The classic Gauss-Lucas Theorem for complex polynomials of degree $d\ge2$ has a natural reformulation over quaternions, obtained via rotation around the real axis. We prove that such a reformulation is true only for $d=2$.

Microhabitats within Venomous Cone Snails Contain Diverse Actinobacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009 ABSTRACT Actinomycetes can be symbionts in diverse organisms, including both plants and animals. Some actinomycetes benefit their host by producing small molecule secondary metabolites; the resulting symbioses are often developmentally complex. Actinomycetes associated with three cone snails were studied.

Chemical Synthesis and NMR Solution Structure of Conotoxin GXIA from Conus geographus
Marine Drugs, 2021 Conotoxins are disulfide-rich peptides found in the venom of cone snails. Due to their exquisite potency and high selectivity for a wide range of voltage and ligand gated ion channels they are attractive drug leads in neuropharmacology.

Venomous secretions from marine snails of the Terebridae family target acetylcholine receptors [PDF]
, 2013 Venoms from cone snails (Conidae) have been extensively studied during the last decades, but those from other members of the suborder Toxoglossa, such as of Terebridae and Turridae superfamilies attracted less interest so far. Here, we report the effects

The M-Superfamily of Conotoxins: A Review [PDF]
, 2010 Throughout the world there exist both predator and prey. This distinction is apparent though sometimes misleading. Take for example marine snails of the genus Conus that are present across the oceans of the southern hemisphere [1].

The Spatial Distribution Of OH And CN Radicals In The Coma Of Comet Encke [PDF]
, 2011 Multiple potential parent species have been proposed to explain CN abundances in comet comae, but the parent has not been definitively identified for all comets.

Conopeptides from Cape Verde Conus crotchii [PDF]
, 2013 Marine Cone snails of the genus Conus contain complex peptide toxins in their venom. Living in tropical habitats, they usually use the powerful venom for self-defense and prey capture.

Toxins from cone snails: properties, applications and biotechnological production [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2008 AbstractCone snails are marine predators that use venoms to immobilize their prey. The venoms of these mollusks contain a cocktail of peptides that mainly target different voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels. Typically, conopeptides consist of ten to 30 amino acids but conopeptides with more than 60 amino acids have also been described. Due to their
