The queen conch mitogenome: intra- and interspecific mitogenomic variability in Strombidae and phylogenetic considerations within the Hypsogastropoda [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Aliger gigas is an economically important and vulnerable marine species. We present a new mitogenome of A. gigas from the Mexican Caribbean and use the eight publicly available Strombidae mitogenomes to analyze intra- and interspecific variation.

Is the Queen conch Strombus gigas (Mesogastropoda: Strombidae) a species with Allee effect?
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014 The marine park of Xel-Há has a population of Strombus gigas which breeds in the area. We determined the relationship between reproductive activity, conch density and environmental parameters.

Microindentation behavior of the shell of the conch Strombus gigas
Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2001 Abstract Microindentation using a hard indentor is a very useful tool to probe the local mechanical properties (plastic flow, fracture, toughness, creep, etc.) of hard solids. We have used a depth sensitive indentation (DSI) version of this technique to study the shell of the conch Strombus gigas.In particular, we prepared polished ...

Ontogenesis of the digestive gland through the planktotrophic stages of Strombus gigas
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2020 ABSTRACT The queen conch, Strombus gigas (Linnaeus, 1758), is a marine mollusc of ecological and economic importance in the Caribbean. Its populations are declining due to overexploitation. We describe ontogenesis of the digestive gland in S. gigas during the larval stages. Larvae were studied over a period of 42 d in laboratory culture,
