Distribution of Defensive Metabolites in Nudibranch Molluscs
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2018Many plants and animals store toxic or unpalatable compounds in tissues that are easily encountered by predators during attack. Defensive compounds can be produced de novo, or obtained from dietary sources and stored directly without selection or modification, or can be selectively sequestered or biotransformed.

Lowered nutritional quality supplements nudibranch chemical defense
Oecologia, 2002Reduced palatability through lowered nutritional content is a common defense for modular or gelatinous organisms, but commonly thought unavailable for active, mobile animals. However, nudibranchs - a group of brightly colored, shell-less snails - may supplement their chemical defenses via increased water and ash content.

Nudibranchs: butterflies of the sea
International Zoo Yearbook, 1995Sea slug nudibranchs are exotic representatives of the Mollusca, rivalling orchids or butterflies in their beauty. Colourful nudibranchs are found in both tropical and temperate seas. Aquarium husbandry, as practised by the Seattle Aquarium, is presented here for temperate species.

The Biology of Nudibranch Larvae
Oikos, 1963General interest in the problems of the larval biology of marine animals has increased greatly in the last few years. The importance of factors affecting the size of larval populations has now been recognized in its proper relationship to the size of adult populations. THORSON'S 1946 monograph on the larvae of Danish benthic invertebrates first brought

Chemical Ecology of the Nudibranchs
1987The fact that nudibranchs often contain interesting natural products has been known for over a decade. These natural products were quickly recognized as defensive agents usually sequestered from their particular prey. Recently more fundamental questions, requiring the close collaboration between chemists and biologists, have been addressed.
