Synthesis, Pharmacological and Structural Characterization of Novel Conopressins from Conus miliaris
Marine Drugs, 2020 Cone snails produce a fast-acting and often paralyzing venom, largely dominated by disulfide-rich conotoxins targeting ion channels. Although disulfide-poor conopeptides are usually minor components of cone snail venoms, their ability to target key ...

Causal processes and interactions: What are they and what are they good for? [PDF]
, 2004 Concerning any object of philosophical analysis, we can ask several questions, including the two posed in the title of this paper. Despite difficulties in formulating a precise criterion to distinguish causal processes from pseudoprocesses, and causal ...

Toxinology of Marine Venomous Snails
Iranian South Medical Journal, 2021 A surprisingly large number of sea snail species are venomous. Cone snail venoms are produced in a lengthy tubular duct from a complex venom gland and form a cocktail of many toxins, particularly conotoxins which have high potency and specificity for ...

Mitogenomic phylogeny of cone snails endemic to Senegal
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2017 Cone snails attain in Senegal one of their highest peaks of species diversity throughout the continental coast of Western Africa. A total of 15 endemic species have been described, all placed in the genus Lautoconus. While there is ample data regarding the morphology of the shell and the radular tooth of these species, virtually nothing is known ...

Using Marine Snails to Teach Biogeography and Macroevolution: The Role of Larvae and Dispersal Ability in the Evolution and Persistence of Species [PDF]
, 2012 While some marine animals are capable of traveling great distances, many have limited mobility as adults and spend the majority of their lifetimes in a small geographical area or may even be cemented to a single place.

Prey Shifts Drive Venom Evolution in Cone Snails [PDF]
Molecular Biology and EvolutionAbstract Venom systems are complex traits that have independently emerged multiple times in diverse plant and animal phyla. Within each venomous lineage there typically exists interspecific variation in venom composition where several factors have been proposed as drivers of variation, including phylogeny and diet.
