The Glacidorbidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) of Australia [PDF]

Records of the Australian Museum, 2000
The heterobranch gastropod family Glacidorbidae (?Pulmonata) is known only from temperate Australia and Chile. The Australian taxa are reviewed and three new genera, Benthodorbis, Striadorbis and Tasmodorbis are described based on differences in their shells, especially the protoconchs, and in their opercula and radulae.

Diel activity correlates with colour pattern morphology of heterobranch sea slugs. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The authors show that daytime activity fundamentally shapes the appearance of prey animals to potential predators and that colour pattern phenotypes likely associated with visual signalling are predominantly found in diurnal species of sea slugs. This study showcases novel methodology combining comparative phylogenetic analyses, animal vision modelling,

Mitochondrial Genomes of Three <i>Melampus</i> Species (Ellobiidae; Gastropoda). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The mitochondrial genomes of three gastropod species from the family Ellobiidae—Melampus bidentatus, Melampus jaumei, and Melampus gundlachi—were assembled and annotated and found to have a gene order that diverges from the conserved gene order that is recovered in most genera within Ellobiidae and—more generally—within Euthyneura.

Panpulmonate habitat transitions: tracing the evolution of Acochlidia (Heterobranchia,Gastropoda) [PDF]

, 2014
The evolution and diversification of euthyneuran slugs and snails was likely strongly influenced by habitat transitions from marine to terrestrial and limnic systems. Well-supported euthyneuran phylogenies with detailed morphological data can provide information on the historical, biological and ecological background in which these habitat shifts took ...

Is a Modified Actin the Key to Toxin Resistance in the Nudibranch Chromodoris? A Biochemical and Molecular Approach

Diversity, 2023
Five Chromodoris species from North Sulawesi, Indonesia, were investigated for their sequestration of marine natural products. The cytotoxic 2-thiazolidinone macrolide latrunculin A (LatA) was the major metabolite in all examined Chromodoris species, as ...

Crustaceans and Marine Heterobranchia: A New Symbiotic Relationship in the Mediterranean Sea

Diversity, 2021
The “solar-powered” Elysia timida (Risso, 1818) is an endemic Mediterranean sacoglossan living in rocky substrates at shallow water. During a scuba dive, one E. timida was photographed and collected.
