Patterns of Diversity of the Rissoidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Region

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
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 ...

Identification of Conomarphin Variants in the Conus eburneus Venom and the Effect of Sequence and PTM Variations on Conomarphin Conformations

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2020
Marine cone snails belonging to the Conidae family make use of neuroactive peptides in their venom to capture prey. Here we report the proteome profile of the venom duct of Conus eburneus, a cone snail belonging to the Tesseliconus clade.

Effects of Predator-Prey Interactions on Predator Traits: Differentiation of Diets and Venoms of a Marine Snail

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Species interactions are fundamental ecological forces that can have significant impacts on the evolutionary trajectories of species. Nonetheless, the contribution of predator-prey interactions to genetic and phenotypic divergence remains largely unknown.

Eocene gastropods of the New Forest, UK

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 26-37, January/February 2025.
Gastropods expanded into niches vacated by both terrestrial and marine organisms following the end‐Cretaceous mass extinction, to become one of the dominant mollusc groups of the Cenozoic. The Selsey Formation of Eocene age was deposited within a shallow marine embayment across the Hampshire Basin (southern England) and contains a particularly diverse ...

Prey specificity of predatory venoms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

The archaeology of shellfishing practices on Ua Huka, Marquesas Archipelago (French Polynesia)

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 251-274, July 2024.
Abstract Shellfish remains are ubiquitous to coastal archaeological sites in the Marquesas but have seldom been the focus of dedicated investigations into their contribution to past diet and daily life. On the island of Ua Huka, in the northern group of the archipelago, people have consumed a variety of shellfish since their arrival on the island ...

Investigating the Upper Holocene palaeoenvironment and human subsistence strategy in the Khor Rori coastal area by studying mollusc remains from the Inqitat plateau (Dhofar, Sultanate of Oman)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 608-625, May 2024.
ABSTRACT Archaeological shells have a great potential for reconstructing past environments and human–environment interactions. The Inqitat plateau (Khor Rori Archaeological Park, Oman) shows rich mollusc assemblages, present in the HAS1 settlement and in a shell midden nearby (Iron Age).
