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.

Venomix: a simple bioinformatic pipeline for identifying and characterizing toxin gene candidates from transcriptomic data [PDF]
The advent of next-generation sequencing has resulted in transcriptome-based approaches to investigate functionally significant biological components in a variety of non-model organism. This has resulted in the area of “venomics”: a rapidly growing field

Although cone snails are among the most studied group of gastropods, new species are still regularly described. Here, we focus on Afonsoconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2013, a lineage that includes only two species from the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

The geographical distribution of the Rissoidae in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea was compiled and is up‐to‐date until July 2011. All species were classified according to their mode of larval development (planktotrophic and nonplanktotrophic), and bathymetrical zonation (shallow species—those living between the intertidal and 50 m depth, and ...

Keanekaragaman Moluska di Pantai Pasir Putih Lampung Selatan
Pantai Pasir Putih is an area with a variety of coastal substrates that store much diversity of Molluscs species. The diversity of Molluscs in the waters of Lampung is still little known, therefore research conducted at Pasir Putih Beach, South Lampung ...

We examined patterns of dietary and genetic variation of a broadly distributed, Indo‐West Pacific cone snail at four sites in French Polynesia and compared them to populations at Guam, American Samoa, and Rapa Nui. Our results indicate that populations at French Polynesia possess broad and overlapping diets that are most similar to those of Rapa Nui ...
