Data from: "Transcriptomic resources for three populations of Conus miliaris (Mollusca: Conidae) from Easter Island, American Samoa and Guam" in Genomic Resources Notes Accepted 1 August 2014-30 September 2014

Species interactions represent fundamental ecological processes that can
have significant impacts on the evolutionary trajectories of species.
However, the contribution of predator-prey interactions to genetic and
phenotypic divergence within and between species remains largely unknown.
In this context, predatory marine snails of the genus Conus exhibit
considerable variation in venom composition, a phenomenon that may be due
to the evolution of conotoxins in response to predator-prey interactions.
It has been hypothesized that geographic differences in prey utilization
drive the evolution of conotoxnis in cone snails and that the diversity of
conotoxins is positively associated with prey diversity. To test if
differences in predatory-prey interactions are associated with differences
in venom composition, we sequenced and compared venom duct transcriptomes
from 22 individuals of Conus miliaris from three geographic populations
differing in dietary breath.
