  • Conotoxin Diversity in Chelyconus Ermineus (Born, 1778) and the Convergent Origin of Piscivory in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific

Accepted: July 28, 2018 Data deposition: Raw RNA seq data: SRA database: project number SRP139515 (SRR6983161-SRR6983169) Abstract The transcriptome of the venom duct of the Atlantic piscivorous cone species Chelyconus ermineus (Born, 1778) was determined. The venom repertoire of this species includes at least 378 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity. A total of three individuals were sequenced showing considerable intraspecific variation: each individual had many exclusive conotoxin precursors, and only 20% of all inferred mature peptides were common to all individuals. Three different regions (distal, medium, and proximal with respect to the venom bulb) of the venom duct were analyzed independently. Diversity (in terms of number of distinct members) of conotoxin precursor superfamilies increased toward the distal region whereas transcripts detected toward the proximal region showed higher expression levels.

  • 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.

In this paper, we present an overview of the biodiversity ofboth marine snails of the large genus Conus and their venoms. After a brief survey of Conidae malacology, we focus on the high degree of biodiversity of this gem1s, its specifie biogeography as weil as its habitat, and the relatively strict di et of its members. The venom of Conidae species contains a large number of pep­ tides that can interact selectively with key elements of the peripheral and central nervous systems of vertebrales and invertebrates. Emphasis is on summarizing our current knowledge of the spe­ cifie actions of venom components on ionie channels, receptors and other key elements of cellular communication. The peptides isolated from venoms, called conotoxins, form different families according to both their primary structure and their specifie pharmacological targets . Three. families encompassing the ~-, ~0- and ô-conotoxins target voltage-sensitive sodium channels but with dif­ ferent modes of action or tissue selectivity.

André Poremski &RQWULEXWRU The size of John Tucker’s present article would not allow us to John K. Tucker include it in a regular number and its obvious interest certainly advised against splitting it into several consecutive issues. Pre- senting it as Special Issue #14A was the natural solution for those problems. The need for a revision of Western Atlantic Cones has been long felt. Every once in a while we do indeed hear that some- one or other is working on it, but no release dates loom in the horizon. This of course means that every contribution to a bet- ter understanding of that most interesting geographical zone is quite welcome. Hence, we heartily welcome John Tucker’s extensive comments on the series of articles published by Danker Vink back in the 80s, as an important piece of information that will certainly help us to find our way amidst what is certainly a rather com- plicated issue. I personally thank John for submitting this paper to TCC and I hope that everybody will enjoy it.

  • THE CONE COLLECTOR #26 December 2014 the Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear Friends
    THE CONE COLLECTOR #26 December 2014 THE Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear friends, Editor The year 2014 has been quite rich with interesting events and António Monteiro publications for Cone lovers. Layout For one thing, we had our 3rd International Cone Meeting, André Poremski held in Madrid in the first weekend in October, and what a Contributors great meeting it was! The organization was flawless, the talks Michel Balleton were mightily interesting, the ambiance was excellent, the Bill Fenzan weather was brilliant. What more can one ask for? You will Joaquin M. Inchaustegui read more about it in the present issue of TCC. Janine Jacques Gavin Malcolm Shortly before that, Alan Kohn’s long awaited book on Western Andrea Nappo Atlantic Cones was published at last. Controversial in some José Rosado respects (such as resorting to the use of a single genus, or the David Touitou John K. Tucker criteria for specific separation or synonymizing), it is an impor- Erasmus M. Vogl tant work that will fuel much discussion. You will also read a few comments in the following pages. In our usual section “Who’s Who in Cones”, you will get to know Gavin Malcolm a little better. As usual, there is also a detailed list of recent publications and newly described taxa. Several other articles will, I hope, be of interest to everybody. So, without further ado, enjoy the new issue of TCC!
