Distribution géographique. — Moluques (Psetel, Kiener); Philippines (Kiener). Remarque. — Le Conus stramineus a été décrit par Lamarck sans aucune référence, ce qui rend difficile la distinction de son type, d'autant plus que sa description : « offre tantôt des rangées transverses de taches petites et quadrangu- laires d'un jaune pâle et tantôt de larges taches d'un jaune orangé, qui couvrent en grande partie sa surface » ne permet pas de reconnaître à quelle variété con¬ vient exactement le nom stramineus. Les exemplaires de Java (de notre collec¬ tion) que nous avons sous les yeux, se rapportant très bien à la figure que Reeve (pl. XLII) désigne sous le nom de C. stramineus et qui ne diffère guère de celles que Kiener a données de son Conus cocceus Reeve, mais qui ne concordent pas avec le vrai C. cocceus Reeve, qui représente une coquille plus courte et couverte de taches très nombreuses, très petites et anguleuse vers le haut. Les C. alveolus Sowerby, lynceus (Solander) Sowerby et Broderipi Reeve ne paraissent être que des variations sans importance des stramineus. Enfin, Tryon a réuni tous ces noms en Conus nisus Chemnitz, en y adjoi¬ gnant encore Conus Blanfordianus Crosse et Conus stigmaticus. Weinkauff cite le C. stramineus Lk. comme synonyme de nisus Chemnitz, 186 Pu. DAUTZENBERG. — GASTÉROPODES MARINS mais il ne cite pas la référence de cet auteur! Sans doute parce que cette référence avait déjà été citée par Küster. En résumé, je crois qu'on peut regarder les C. nisus Chtz. et stvamineus Lk. comme variétés d'une même espèce et c'est dès lors nisus, plus ancien, qui doit être adopté pour l'espèce et stramineus comme variété. Le C. lynceus Sow. n'est qu'une grande forme de la variété stramineus Lk. Conus nocturnus Hwass, 1792 1758. Cylindrus pyramidalis fasciatus Seba, Thes., III, p. 134, pl. XLVI, fig. 5 à 12. 1764.

Received: 31 May 2017; Accepted: 13 July 2017; Published: 18 July 2017 Abstract: Conotoxins in the venom of cone snails (Conus spp.) are a mixture of active peptides that work as blockers, agonists, antagonists, or inactivators of various ion channels. Recently we reported a high-throughput method to identify 215 conotoxin transcripts from the Chinese tubular cone snail, C. betulinus. Here, based on the previous datasets of four transcriptomes from three venom ducts and one venom bulb, we explored ion channel-based conotoxins and predicted their related ion channel receptors. Homologous analysis was also performed for the most abundant ion channel protein, voltage-gated potassium (Kv; with Kv1.1 as the representative), and the most studied ion channel receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR; with α2-nAChR as the representative), in different animals.

  • 22 April 2013 the Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear Friends
    THE CONE COLLECTOR #22 April 2013 THE Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear friends, Editor The project “The Cone Collector” is still under seven years old António Monteiro and yet when I look at all we have achieved so far I cannot help thinking that we have probably exceeded expectations. Layout André Poremski We started modestly – as becomes any serious project – back in Contributors October 2006, with our newsletter aimed at all those who are Carlos Afonso interested in studying or collecting Cones, from professional Jim Cootes biologists to amateur collectors. Today we can proudly display Remy Devorsine a total of twenty-four numbers of TCC, two hugely successful Sébastien Dutertre international meetings and a website that brings together an Günther Herndl unparalleled wealth of information on Cones. Joaquin M. Inchaustegui Bruce Livett As a matter of fact, after the uploading in our website (at www. Philippe Quiquandon Christopher Roux theconecollector.com ) of the important and vastly updated Manuel Jiménez Tenorio and augmented work by Mike Filmer’s involving taxonomy and Will van Damme nomenclature, we now have at the same address Paul Kersten’s Alessandro Zanzi extremely useful and well-known Checklist, enriched with new images and much more detailed information than before. This is the work of a team – the names of Manuel Jimenez Tenorio, Bill Fenzan, John Tucker, Gavin Malcolm, Mike Filmer, Paul Kersten and André Poremski readily come to my mind as front row collaborators of TCC, but all others who have contributed with articles, photos, opinions, suggestions and unfailing support deserve equal credit! The project belongs to all and can only survive with the continued support of all.

(UPD, Philippines) in September 2003 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Biology within the School of Marine Biology and Aquaculture James Cook University ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to describe the distribution of coral reef and shore gastropods in the Philippines, using the species rich taxa, Nerita, Clypeomorus, Muricidae, Littorinidae, Conus and Oliva. These taxa represent the major gastropod groups in the intertidal and shallow water ecosystems of the Philippines. This distribution is described with reference to the McManus (1985) basin isolation hypothesis of species diversity in Southeast Asia. I examine species-area relationships, range sizes and shapes, major ecological factors that may affect these relationships and ranges, and a phylogeny of one taxon. Range shape and orientation is largely determined by geography. Large ranges are typical of mid-intertidal herbivorous species. Triangualar shaped or narrow ranges are typical of carnivorous taxa. Narrow, overlapping distributions are more common in the central Philippines. The frequency of range sizesin the Philippines has the right skew typical of tropical high diversity systems.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

  • CONE SHELLS - CONIDAE MNHN Koumac 2018
    Living Seashells of the Tropical Indo-Pacific Photographic guide with 1500+ species covered Andrey Ryanskiy INTRODUCTION, COPYRIGHT, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION Seashell or sea shells are the hard exoskeleton of mollusks such as snails, clams, chitons. For most people, acquaintance with mollusks began with empty shells. These shells often delight the eye with a variety of shapes and colors. Conchology studies the mollusk shells and this science dates back to the 17th century. However, modern science - malacology is the study of mollusks as whole organisms. Today more and more people are interacting with ocean - divers, snorkelers, beach goers - all of them often find in the seas not empty shells, but live mollusks - living shells, whose appearance is significantly different from museum specimens. This book serves as a tool for identifying such animals. The book covers the region from the Red Sea to Hawaii, Marshall Islands and Guam. Inside the book: • Photographs of 1500+ species, including one hundred cowries (Cypraeidae) and more than one hundred twenty allied cowries (Ovulidae) of the region; • Live photo of hundreds of species have never before appeared in field guides or popular books; • Convenient pictorial guide at the beginning and index at the end of the book ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The significant part of photographs in this book were made by Jeanette Johnson and Scott Johnson during the decades of diving and exploring the beautiful reefs of Indo-Pacific from Indonesia and Philippines to Hawaii and Solomons. They provided to readers not only the great photos but also in-depth knowledge of the fascinating world of living seashells. Sincere thanks to Philippe Bouchet, National Museum of Natural History (Paris), for inviting the author to participate in the La Planete Revisitee expedition program and permission to use some of the NMNH photos.

The high diversity is encountered from genus to individual species, habitat and ecosystems. The coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass beds, Received 29th October, 2016 marine lakes and deep sea valleys of the region form a constellation of diverse habitat that support a spectacular Received in revised form variety of fauna. Molluscsare highly successful invertebrates in terms of ecology and adaptation and are found 28th November, 2016 nearly in all habitats ranging from deepest ocean trenches to the intertidal zones, and freshwater to land occupying Accepted 07th December, 2016 a wide range of habitats. Much of the molluscan diversity occurs in the tropical world. Despite this great diversity, Published online 31st January, 2017 very few studies on molluscs have been carried out in the tropical world. An attempt was made to study the diversity and distribution of molluscs along the intertidal regions of Neil islands. During the survey three different Key words: beaches of Neil Island were selected, named, Sitapurbeach, Laxmanpur beach and Bharatpur beach. The study area is located 37 kms to lies in the northern part of south of the Andaman Islands.

  • Current Status of Philippine Mollusk Museum Collections and Research, and Their Implications on Biodiversity Science and Conservation
    Philippine Journal of Science 147 (1): 123-163, March 2018 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 28 Feb 2017 Current Status of Philippine Mollusk Museum Collections and Research, and their Implications on Biodiversity Science and Conservation Dino Angelo E.

Such assessments can contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of natural history museums in the Philippines, as well as biodiversity management. This review showed that local museums in the Philippines have much to improve in terms of their accessibility and geographic coverage in order to effectively cater to research and conservation needs of the country. Online access to databases was lacking for local museums, making it cumbersome to retrieve collection information. The UST museum held the most species and subspecies across all museums (4899), comparable to the national museums of countries such as the USA and France. In terms of size, there were larger Philippine mollusk collections in museums abroad. Majority of mollusk specimens come from Regions 4 and 7, while the CAR and Region 12 were least sampled. Publications on Philippine mollusks are dominated by taxonomic and biodiversity research.
