Pure white (well, cream) cone shell with pointy end (front) towards the camera. Siphon (white with yellow tip and black band) and white foot visible.

Small cone shell, dramatically coloured in splashes and dribbles of chocolate brown on white. The siphon is also brown. Looks good enough to eat. (Don't even try.) Conus cylindraceus: Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Island. © uwkwaj CC BY-NC https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/184536281

Large rotund cone shell marked with hundreds of overlapping triangles on a brown background. Very elaborate pattern! The siphon is banded in red, yellow, white and black. Conus omaria: Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Island. © uwkwaj CC BY-NC https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/106842877

Bright orange cone shell with a paler orange foot and siphon. Conus tinianus: Gqeberha, South Africa. © Renee Els CC BY-SA https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/86914573

There’s an important and interesting group of snails I haven’t covered yet: Conidae, the cone shells. Since most cones belong to Conus (not a Y), today’s #AtoZ stands for Yes, I Went Ahead And Broke My Own Rules It’s Cones Today. (1/11)

Whole genome data confirm pervasive gene discordance in the evolutionary history of Coenonympha (Nymphalidae) butterflies Phylogenetic inference is challenged by genealogical heterogeneity amongst molecular markers. Such discordance is driven predominantly by incomplete l…

Rapid radiation and some hybridisation lead to a phylogeny full of poorly supported nodes. Very interesting study of the phylogenomic of Coenonympha butterflies by Greenwood et al :
