Phylogeny

Strombus maculatus Strombus mutabilis Strombus microurceus Strombus labiatus Strombus fragilis Strombus urceus Strombus dentatus Strombus canarium Strombus vittatus Strombus epidromis Strombus fusiformis Strombus haemastoma Strombus wilsoni

Part of the phylogeny and relationships of Strombus species, according to Latiolais et al. (2006)[2]

In 2006, Latiolais^[who?] and colleagues proposed a cladogram that attempts to show the phylogenetic relationships of 34 species within the family Strombidae. The authors analysed 31 species in the genus Strombus including Canarium fusiforme (referred to as Strombus fusiformis in their analysis), and three species in the allied genus Lambis. The cladogram was based on DNA sequences of both nuclear histone H3 and mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI) protein-coding gene regions. In this proposed phylogeny, Strombus haemastoma (= Canarium haemastoma) and Strombus fusiformis are closely related and appear to share a common ancestor.^[2]
