A deceptive variety: integrative systematics and phylogeography suggest Adalaria proxima and Adalaria loveni represent a single species (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia)

Systematics and Biodiversity
In this paper we provide a thorough morphological re-examination of the type species of the genus Adalaria (Gastropoda: Onchidorididae), Adalaria loveni, and its closely related species Adalaria proxima in boreal and subarctic seas, together with a ...

Molecular Updates on the ‘Warty Dorid’ Doris verrucosa Linnaeus, 1758 (Mollusca, Nudibranchia) from the Mediterranean Sea

Diversity
Basic and applied research reveals the importance of sea slugs as a source of new bioactive molecules or of still little-known intra/intercellular processes, mainly linked to the highly specialised defensive strategies typical of this group of shell-less

The minimal endosymbiosis between Spurilla braziliana (Aeolidiidae, Nudibranchia) and Symbiodiniaceae

bioRxiv
Symbiotic relationships between dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae and marine invertebrates underpin the functioning of marine ecosystems. Although the Symbiodiniaceae-Cladobranchia nudibranch association has been proposed as a promising model

Protective mechanisms in the Eolidacea (Mollusca Nudibranchia)

Journal of the Linnean Society of London, Zoology, 1966
SUMMARY The protective system of eolid nudibranchs consists of crypsis, defensive behaviour patterns, autotomy of cerata, exudation of glandular secretions, ejection of nematocysts, and the structure of the epidermis. The existence of warning colouration has not been established.

The Ecology ofOnchidoris Fusca[Nudibranchia]

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1970
Opisthobranchs are mostly unsuitable animals for detailed ecological work since it is unusual to come across an adequate population for quantitative analysis. This difficulty is reflected in the generalized surveys that may be found described in the literature and which deal with a large number of species, each in little detail (Garstang, 1889; Swennen,

The first molecular phylogeny of cladobranchian opisthobranchs (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Nudibranchia)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
The first molecular phylogeny is presented for the highly diverse, opisthobranch molluscan Cladobranchia. This study, the most comprehensive for Cladobranchia to date, used new sequences of two mitochondrial and one nuclear genes for 95 specimens from 22 families and 38 genera with a species of Pleurobranchoidea as outgroup. Although our results do not

Shining disco: shedding light into the systematics of the family Discodorididae (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society
The evolutionary relationships among genera within the nudibranch family Discodorididae remain poorly understood, with comprehensive molecular studies still largely absent.

Ecology and distribution of the Mediterranean Dondice trainitoi Furfaro and Mariottini, 2020 (Mollusca: Nudibranchia)

Journal of Natural History
During scientific technical dives in a marine animal forest (MAF) environment, the nudibranch Dondice trainitoi Furfaro & Mariottini 2020 was recorded on a rocky bottom at 50 m depth in the Salento Peninsula, Southern Italy, Eastern Mediterranean Sea ...
