Terpenoids in Marine Heterobranch Molluscs [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2020 Heterobranch molluscs are rich in natural products. As other marine organisms, these gastropods are still quite unexplored, but they provide a stunning arsenal of compounds with interesting activities.

Bioactive Compounds from Marine Heterobranchs. [PDF]
Mar Drugs, 2020 The natural products of heterobranch molluscs display a huge variability both in structure and in their bioactivity. Despite the considerable lack of information, it can be observed from the recent literature that this group of animals possesses an ...

The Mitochondrial Genomes of the Nudibranch Mollusks, Melibe leonina and Tritonia diomedea, and Their Impact on Gastropod Phylogeny. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The phylogenetic relationships among certain groups of gastropods have remained unresolved in recent studies, especially in the diverse subclass Opisthobranchia, where nudibranchs have been poorly represented.

Diversity and distribution of the Gastropoda Opisthobranchia from the Atlantic Ocean: A global biogeographic approach [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2009 A zoogeographic study of the Opisthobranchia (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the Atlantic Ocean was carried out. Data on Opisthobranch occurrence were collated from literature records and databases.

Opaline gland ultrastructure in Aplysia californica (Gastropoda: Anaspidea) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2007 Secretions released from the ink and opaline glands of Aplysia californica protect this shell-less mollusc from predators in several ways; the most recently discovered, phagomimicry, stimulates the feeding behaviours of the predator, distracting it from the sea hare.

Role of the Digestive Gland in Ink Production in Four Species of Sea Hares: An Ultrastructural Comparison [PDF]
Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The ultrastructure of the digestive gland of several sea hare species that produce different colored ink (Aplysia californica produces purple ink, A. juliana white ink, A. parvula both white and purple ink, while Dolabrifera dolabrifera produces no ink at all) was compared to determine the digestive gland’s role in the diet‐derived ink production ...

mtDNA Ribosomal Gene Phylogeny of Sea Hares in the Genus Aplysia (Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia, Anaspidea): Implications for Comparative Neurobiology [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2001 Sea hares within the genus Aplysia are important neurobiological model organisms; as more studies based on different Aplysia species are appearing in the literature, a phylogenetic framework has become essential. We present a phylogenetic hypothesis for this genus, based on portions of two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S).

Molecular Systematics of the Order Anaspidea Based on Mitochondrial DNA Sequence (12S, 16S, and COI)
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2000 Fragments from three mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, and COI) were sequenced to reconstruct a molecular phylogeny of the opisthobranch order Anaspidea. The molecular phylogeny supports the placement of the genus Akera, a taxon previously regarded by some authors as a cephalaspidean, within the Anaspidea.
