Canarium fusiforme
Canarium fusiforme is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Phylogeny
In 2006, Latiolais 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, 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 protein-coding gene regions. In this proposed phylogeny, Strombus haemastoma and Strombus fusiformis are closely related and appear to share a common ancestor.
