Abstract
Alan Kohn showed that two cone-snail species-Conus striatus Linnaeus, 1758, and Conus catus Hwass, 1792-hunt fish as their primary prey. In the seven decades since then, it has been established that these two species belong to the subgenus Pionoconus Mörch, 1852, a well-defined lineage of Conus Linnaeus, 1758, and one of eight piscivorous cone-snail clades. In this review, an integrated multidisciplinary framework for the biology of Pionoconus is presented, based on the numerous research papers published since Kohn's seminal discovery. The molecular biology, phylogeny, biogeography, life history, and prey-capture strategy of Pionoconus are among the topics reviewed, along with more specialized subjects, e.g., human envenomation, culinary recipes, shell-collecting history, and biomedical applications. These illustrate the continuing impact of Kohn's scientific contributions.
期刊介绍：
Malacologia publishes papers on all groups of the Mollusca. Malacologia specializes in publishing long papers and monographic treatments. Complete data are especially appreciated. Papers must be of interest to an international readership. Papers in systematics, ecology, population ecology, genetics, molecular genetics, evolution and phylogenetic treatments are especially welcomed. Also welcomed are letters to the editor involving papers published or issues of import to science of the day.
