Pigment and Fatty Acid Heterogeneity in the Sea Slug Elysia crispata Is Not Shaped by Habitat Depth
Long-term retention of functional chloroplasts in animal cells occurs only in sacoglossan sea slugs. Analysis of molecules related to the maintenance of these organelles can provide valuable information on this trait (kleptoplasty).

Abstract DNA barcode‐based species identification has become pivotal in biodiversity research. Current barcoding‐based deep learning methods have advantages in species identification but exhibit significant limitations. By using COI barcoding alone, previous studies were unable to fully capture species identification features. Prior methods showed that
