Mimicry and mitonuclear discordance in nudibranchs: New insights from exon capture phylogenomics. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 We employ exon capture to resolve the phylogeny of a recently radiated genus of toxic nudibranch and to test previous mimicry hypotheses. We uncover mitonuclear discordance for the first time in nudibranchs that derives from mitochondrial capture or introgression, and we confirm one mimetic species in Western Australia.

First record of Felimare picta (Philippi, 1836) (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Chromodorididae) from Tobruk, Libyan coast [PDF]
Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2023 Biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea has not yet been fully explored. There has been very little research on molluscs along the Libyan coast. An individual of the chromodoridid nudibranch Felimare picta (Philippi, 1836) was encountered during scuba ...
