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 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 ...

Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals Extraordinary Diversity of Venom Peptides in Unexplored Predatory Gastropods of the Genus Clavus. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2020 Predatory gastropods of the superfamily Conoidea number over 12,000 living species. The evolutionary success of this lineage can be explained by the ability of conoideans to produce complex venoms for hunting, defense and competitive interactions ...

Rare, deep-water and similar: revision of Sibogasyrinx (Conoidea: Cochlespiridae)
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021 The genus Sibogasyrinx has to date included only four species of rare deep-water Conoidea, each known from few specimens. In shell characters it strongly resembles three distantly-related genera, two of which, Comitas and Leucosyrinx, belong to a ...
