New Caulerpenyne-derived Metabolites of an Elysia Sacoglossan from the South Indian Coast
Molecules, 2006 Chemical analysis of the secondary metabolite pattern of the sacoglossan mollusc Elysia cf. expansa, collected along South Indian coasts, showed the presence of the typical Caulerpa-derived sesquiterpene caulerpenyne (1) and two new minor co- occurring ...

Algivore or phototroph?: Plakobranchus ocellatus (Gastropoda) continuously acquires kleptoplasts and nutrition from multiple algal species in nature [PDF]
, 2012 The sea slug Plakobranchus ocellatus (Sacoglossa, Gastropoda) retains photosynthetically active chloroplasts from ingested algae (functional kleptoplasts) in the epithelial cells of its digestive gland for up to 10 months.

Lipid accumulation during the establishment of kleptoplasty in Elysia chlorotica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The establishment of kleptoplasty (retention of "stolen plastids") in the digestive tissue of the sacoglossan Elysia chlorotica Gould was investigated using transmission electron microscopy.

Sea Slug Mucus Production Is Supported by Photosynthesis of Stolen Chloroplasts
Biology, 2022 A handful of sea slugs of the order Sacoglossa are able to steal chloroplasts—kleptoplasts—from their algal food sources and maintain them functionally for periods ranging from several weeks to a few months.

Impact of Social Determinants on Melanoma Outcomes in Canada: A Single-Centre Retrospective Study. [PDF]
J Surg OncolABSTRACT Introduction Socioeconomic status (SES) and distance to nearest hospital are known social determinants impacting melanoma survival; however, few studies have investigated the effect in a universal healthcare setting, like Canada. Materials and Methods This retrospective study at The Ottawa Hospital (1999–2023) investigated SES and distance ...

Hiding behaviour of Oxynoe olivacea (Mollusca: Opisthobranchia: Sacoglossa) in the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia [PDF]
, 2013 The occurrence of the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia in the Straits of Messina (Italy) provides an excellent opportunity to examine the spatial and temporal patterns of abundance of the endemic Mediterranean sacoglossan Oxynoe olivacea. Densities of

Kleptoplast photosynthesis is nutritionally relevant in the sea slug Elysia viridis
Scientific Reports, 2017 Several sacoglossan sea slug species feed on macroalgae and incorporate chloroplasts into tubular cells of their digestive diverticula. We investigated the role of the “stolen” chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) in the nutrition of the sea slug Elysia viridis ...

Planting Southern Pines in Florida
EDIS, 2022 Florida landowners have contributed vastly to the Southeast’s planting of pines over many decades; recent incentive programs across the state have encouraged further interest. Understanding the factors that affect seedling quality and survival of native

eLife, 2021 Some sea slugs sequester chloroplasts from algal food in their intestinal cells and photosynthesize for months. This phenomenon, kleptoplasty, poses a question of how the chloroplast retains its activity without the algal nucleus. There have been debates
