Anatomical redescription of Aplysia (Aplysia) nigra and Aplysia (Varria) inca (Mollusca: Heterobranchia) with comments on Aplysia from Peru [PDF]
During the past century eight species of sea hares of the genus Aplysia were recorded from Peru. However, there is disagreement about how many of these species are valid and their taxonomy needs to be critically evaluated. Based on detailed morphological examinations, this study presents a redescription of Aplysia nigra d’Orbigny, 1837 and Aplysia inca

Halogenated Metabolites from the Diet of Aplysia dactylomela Rang [PDF]
Invertebrates are an important source of structurally-diverse and biologically-active halogenated metabolites. The sea hare Aplysia dactylomela Rang has long been known to possess halogenated metabolites of dietary origin that are used as a self-defense ...

Characterization of Aplysia carboxypeptidase E [PDF]
Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. To determine whether a recently reported Aplysia californica cDNA encodes a CPE‐like enzyme, this cDNA was expressed in the baculovirus system. The Aplysia CPE is optimal at pH 5.5–6.5 and is inhibited by chelating agents and by the sulfhydryl reagent p ...

Cloning and expression of an Aplysia K+ channel and comparison with native Aplysia K+ currents [PDF]
We describe here the cloning of the Aplysia K+ channel AK01a.AK01a codes for a protein of 515 amino acids, shows considerable homology to other cloned potassium channels, and can be classified as a member of the ShakerK+ channel family. Expression of the AK01a channel in Xenopus oocytes produces a rapidly inactivating outward potassium current (IAK01a)

De Aplysia cervina (Dall & Simpson 1901) conhecia-se, do Brasil, um exemplar de Maceio. Mais um, quase maduro, foi colhido no eulitoral da ilha de Sao Sebastiao. Enquanto vivente, tinha comprimento de 10 cm. A especie distingue-se, de A. brasiliana, pelas manchas escuras redondas (Fig. 1), pela forma das mandibulas (Fig. 4) e dos bastonetes (Fig.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)
