Conidae phylogenomics and evolution
AbstractUnderstanding the relative role of different evolutionary processes leading to the extraordinary morphological, ecological and species diversity of cone snails requires a robust phylogeny, which thus far has been elusive. Here, we constructed a mitochondrial (mt) genome data set, which included four newly sequenced mt genomes, 25 publicly ...

Glowing seashells: diversity of fossilized coloration patterns on coral reef-associated cone snail (Gastropoda: Conidae) shells from the Neogene of the Dominican Republic. [PDF]
The biology of modern Conidae (cone snails)--which includes the hyperdiverse genus Conus--has been intensively studied, but the fossil record of the clade remains poorly understood, particularly within an evolutionary framework.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Conus striatus (Neogastropoda: Conidae) [PDF]
Conus striatus is a kind of piscivorous cone snail. We have sequenced it by next generation sequencing method. We used de novo assembly and reference mapping methods to assemble mitogenome. The mitochondrial genome is 15,738 bp, containing 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of C.

Novel Peptides of Therapeutic Promise from Indian Conidae [PDF]
Highly structured small peptides are the major toxic constituents of the venom of cone snails, a family of widely distributed predatory marine molluscs. These animals use the venom for rapid prey immobilization. The peptide components in the venom target a wide variety of membrane‐bound ion channels and receptors.

Middle Miocene conoidean gastropods from western Ukraine (Paratethys): Integrative taxonomy, palaeoclimatogical and palaeobiogeographical implications [PDF]
The late Badenian (early Serravallian) conoideans from the Pidhirtsi Beds of western Ukraine (central Paratethys) have been investigated by means of a comprehensive and easy-to-perform morphometric approach, allowing the characterisation of eleven ...
