Evolution of ecological specialization and venom of a predatory marine gastropod.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2008

Remigio E A, Duda T F

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the evolution of ecological specialization is important for making inferences about the origins of biodiversity. Members of the predatory, marine gastropod genus Conus exhibit a variety of diets and the ability to capture prey is linked to a venom comprised of peptide neurotoxins, termed conotoxins. We identified conotoxin transcripts from Conus leopardus, a species of Conus that uniquely preys...
