Novel conopeptides of the I-superfamily occur in several clades of cone snails [PDF]
, 2004 The I-superfamily of conotoxins represents a new class of peptides in the venom of some Conus species. These toxins are characterized by four disulfide bridges and inhibit or modify ion channels of nerve cells.

Integrating Venom Peptide Libraries Into a Phylogenetic and Broader Biological Framework
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 The venomous marine snails are conventionally divided into three groups, the cone snails (family Conidae), the auger snails (family Terebridae) and the turrids (formerly all assigned to a single family, Turridae).

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 ...

Hydrobiidae on North Uist [PDF]
, 2014 One of the problems of working on lochs that are slightly saline is a group of tiny (1-4mm) molluscs called mudsnails (Hydrobiidae). The rarest of these, Hydrobia acuta neglecta, was first identified in the UK in the Uists.

Beyond Conus: Phylogenetic relationships of Conidae based on complete mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding how the extraordinary taxonomic and ecological diversity of cone snails (Caenogastropoda: Conidae) evolved requires a statistically robust phylogenetic framework, which thus far is not available. While recent molecular phylogenies have been
