The complete mitochondrial genome of Indothais lacera (Neogastropoda: Muricidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 The rock shells Thais is the most important genera of Muricidae. However, the systemically classification and phylogenetic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Indothais lacera.

Potential Ancestral Conoidean Toxins in the Venom Cocktail of the Carnivorous Snail Raphitoma purpurea (Montagu, 1803) (Neogastropoda: Raphitomidae) [PDF]
ToxinsVenomous marine gastropods of the superfamily Conoidea possess a rich arsenal of toxins, including neuroactive toxins. Venom adaptations might have played a fundamental role in the radiation of conoideans; nevertheless, there is still no knowledge about ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of a cold seep gastropod Phymorhynchus buccinoides (Neogastropoda: Conoidea: Raphitomidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Phymorhynchus is a genus of deep-sea snails that are most distributed in hydrothermal vent or cold seep environments. In this study, we presented the complete mitochondrial genome of P. buccinoides, a cold seep snail from the South China Sea.

Neogastropod (Mollusca, Gastropoda) phylogeny: A step forward with mitogenomes. [PDF]
Zool Scr, 2022 Abstract The Neogastropoda (Mollusca, Gastropoda) encompass more than 15,000 described species of marine predators, including several model organisms in toxinology, embryology and physiology. However, their phylogenetic relationships remain mostly unresolved and their classification unstable.

The CODEX Approach: High-Throughput Sequencing of the Cox-1 Barcode Fragment in Neogastropods (Mollusca, Gastropoda). [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT DNA barcoding traditionally relies on Sanger sequencing but faces limitations with degraded samples. High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) offers a cost‐effective alternative, enabling rapid barcode generation for extensive datasets. The advantage of HTS is its ability to employ multiplexing strategies, allowing thousands of samples to be processed

Evolution of Duplicated Hox Gene Clusters in Land Snails and Slugs. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolMolluscs of the order Stylommatophora underwent an ancient genome duplication. We show that stylommatophoran snails and slugs have two broken and incomplete Hox gene clusters; HoxA generally has 9 genes, HoxB usually has 7 genes. After duplication of an ancestral 11‐gene Hox cluster, there was patchwork retention of duplicated genes.

The complete mitogenome of Phymorhynchus sp. (Neogastropoda, Conoidea, Raphitomidae) provides insights into the deep-sea adaptive evolution of Conoidea. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 In this paper, the mitogenome of Phymorhynchus sp. from the Haima methane seep was completely assembled and characterized. We also discussed the phylogenetic relationships and gene arrangements of the superfamily Conoidea. Furthermore, eight residues located in atp6, cox1, cytb, nad1, nad4, and nad5 genes were inferred to be positively selected sites ...

Phylogenomics of Neogastropoda: The Backbone Hidden in the Bush. [PDF]
Syst BiolAbstract The molluskan order Neogastropoda encompasses over 15,000 almost exclusively marine species playing important roles in benthic communities and in the economies of coastal countries. Neogastropoda underwent intensive cladogenesis in the early stages of diversification, generating a “bush” at the base of their evolutionary tree ...

The Mitridae (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda) of the Miocene Paratethys Sea [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2021 The gastropod family Mitridae in the Miocene Paratethys Sea is revised. In total, 35 species in eight genera are reported. 75% of the species are so far known only from the Paratethys Sea. Biogeographic relations with the adjacent Proto-Mediterranean Sea are moderate and are mainly documented within Cancilla, but nearly absent in the other genera.
