In June, 1941, the Clarence River Heads, north coast of New South Wales, were visited for the purpose of collecting certain marine molluscan material, in particular, Nudibranchia. For some time Mr. A. A. Cameron, of Harwood Island, Clarence River, had forwarded to the Museum marine specimens from this locality, a considerable proportion of which had indicated the presence there of a strong, extra-Australian ·tropical influence of ecological and zoo-geographical importance. The nudibranch material was particularly interesting in this respect, since the majority of the rare species he had forwarded were collected in a restricted area, the Angourie Pool, a z ~ oU ANGOURIE PT 434 RECORDS OF T.RE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. small excavation in the rocky shore shelf at Angourie, a popular fishing spot. The trip was therefore undertaken to investigate the molluscan fauna in that locality, with special attention to the preparation of field notes and colour sketches of the Nudibranchia encountered. A considerable variety of both tropical and temperate rocky shore shells was present in all areas visited-in one locality alone, Shelly Beach, no less than eleven species of cowries were noticed in an hour or so.

This study was carried out, through a total of 271 scuba dives, from 2017 to the beginning of 2020 in four sites located along the Ionian coasts of Sicily: Catania, Aci Trezza, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla. Through a photographic data collection, 95 taxa, representing 17.27% of all Mediterranean marine Heterobranchia, were reported. The order with the highest number of found species was that of Nudibranchia. Among the study areas, Catania, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla had not a remarkable difference in the number of species, while Aci Trezza had the lowest number of species. Moreover, among the 95 taxa, four species considered rare and six non-indigenous species have been recorded. Since the presence of a high diversity of sea slugs in a relatively small area, the central-eastern coast of Sicily could be considered a zone of high biodiversity for the marine Heterobranchia fauna.

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 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.

Goodheart1 & Heike Wägele2 Received: 13 March 2020 /Accepted: 1 September 2020 # Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik 2020 Abstract Evolutionary transitions from benthic to pelagic habitats are major adaptive shifts. Investigations into such shifts are critical for understanding the complex interaction between co-opting existing traits for new functions and novel traits that originate during or post-transition.
