Geographic variation in venom allelic composition and diets of the widespread predatory marine gastropod Conus ebraeus.

PloS one - 16 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Members of the predatory gastropod genus Conus use a venom comprised of a cocktail of peptide neurotoxins, termed conotoxins or conopeptides, to paralyze prey and conotoxin gene family members diversify via strong positive selection. Because Conus venoms are used primarily to subdue prey, the evolution of venoms is likely affected by predator-prey interactions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To...
