Secondary and Tertiary Endosymbiosis and Kleptoplasty [PDF]
Alga is an informal name that refers to a diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotes that have a polyphyletic origin in the tree of life. Although genomics has provided powerful tools for understanding the evolution of algal photosynthesis many issues remain unresolved. These include explaining the intermingling of plastid-lacking taxa such as ciliates

Kleptoplasty: Letting the cart lead the horse
Current BiologySome chloroplast-stealing dinoflagellates remodel their kleptoplastids, form an extensive network with stollen mitochondria, and likely benefit from photosynthetic genes that they inherited or acquired from prey. These adaptations allow these protists to

Kleptoplasty: Solar-powered sea slugs house stolen plastids in kleptosomes. [PDF]
A new study shows that Sacoglossan sea slugs sequester stolen plastids in arrested phagosomes called 'kleptosomes', redefining how these organelles are compartmentalized and regulated in animal cells.

Species discovery, evolution and kleptoplasty in marine meiofaunal flatworms [PDF]
Rhabdocoel flatworms are abundant members of marine meiofaunal communities worldwide, contributing to a reservoir of biodiversity that thrives between grains of sand. However, they are relatively understudied due to bias in meiofaunal sampling techniques and a lack of taxonomic expertise.

Sacoglossa is a rather small taxon of marine slugs with about 300 described species, yet it is quite fascinating scientists for decades. This is mainly because of the ability of certain species to incorporate photosynthetically active plastids of their algae prey, a phenomenon known as functional kleptoplasty.
