Phylogenetic Diversity and Venom Gland Transcriptomics of Palauan Cone Snails (Conidae)

bioRxiv
Cone snails (genus Conus Linnaeus, 1758) represent one of the most species-rich lineages of venomous marine snails, producing diverse and highly specialized toxins. While Conus diversity is particularly high in the Indo-Pacific, some regions, such as the

Geographic Variation in Diet and Genetic Connectivity of Populations of the Widespread Predatory Cone Snail Conus miliaris

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
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 ...

Purification and Characterization of the Pink-Floyd Drillipeptide, a Bioactive Venom Peptide from Clavus davidgilmouri (Gastropoda: Conoidea: Drilliidae)

Toxins, 2020
The cone snails (family Conidae) are the best known and most intensively studied venomous marine gastropods. However, of the total biodiversity of venomous marine mollusks (superfamily Conoidea, >20,000 species), cone snails comprise a minor fraction ...

Η συμβολή των απολιθωμένων χρωματικών ποικίλσεων για τη συστηματική και φυλογενετική προσέγγιση των γαστερόποδων από το Τριτογενές έως σήμερα: μελέτη περίπτωσης Conidae από το Τορτόνιο της Κρήτης

, 2021
Conidae is a diverse family of carnivorous marine gastropods. They rapidly diversified during the Miocene and now they inhabit tropical and subtropical seas. In this PhD project, the provision of the first inventory of fossil conids from the late Miocene

Eocene gastropods of the New Forest, UK

Geology 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

Biological 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)

Archaeology 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 ...
