Abstract

ABSTRACT The Conidae are predatory marine gastropods and they produce one of the most potent venoms in nature. They are ecologically vital for regulating trophic positions and act as primary carnivores in oceans. Amateur shell collectors target some species and ecosystems are intensively exploited by collectors of ornamental shells and commercial traders. Moreover, increasing coastal development, habitat modification and fragmentation, and overexploitation of resources threaten cone snail diversity. This study documents 46 species of Conidae from the Kerala coast, India. Fifteen species are newly recorded from the coast, and one species is reported for the first time from the Indian coast. We also revalidate Conus ceylanensis and Conus bizona.

印度喀拉拉邦海岸孢子科的多样性(栉足纲:孢子总科)

孢子虫是一种掠食性海洋腹足动物，它们产生的毒液是自然界中最强大的毒液之一。它们在生态上对调节营养位置至关重要，是海洋中的主要食肉动物。业余贝壳收藏家的目标是一些物种和生态系统，被观赏贝壳收藏家和商业贸易商集中开发。此外，沿海开发、生境改造和破碎化以及资源的过度开发也威胁着螺的多样性。本研究记录了印度喀拉拉邦海岸的46种孢子科。15种是在海岸新记录的，1种是首次在印度海岸报告的。我们也重新验证了圆锥和圆锥。

期刊介绍： Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology. While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered. The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
