The Sea Slug Tethys fimbria Linnaeus, 1767 (Nudibranchia: Tethydidae) Expands its Distribution Northwards to the Sea of Marmara

Aquatic Sciences and Engineering, 2023
This study reports our observation of the large sea slug Tethys fimbria Linnaeus, 1767 in the northern-eastern Sea of Marmara (the Princes’ Islands). We observed T. fimbria on the detrital bottom of the sea at a depth of 35 m in June 2022.

Revealing morphological characteristics of Goniodorididae genera (Mollusca: Nudibranchia) [PDF]

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2021
AbstractDetailed knowledge of the anatomy of the species is an essential element in taxonomic studies, since it allows the comparison and differentiation of separate groups of taxa. It becomes especially important when considering type species, as the subsequent identification of the species that compose the taxa is based on its characteristics ...

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 ...

How we study cryptic species and their biological implications: A case study from marine shelled gastropods

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Methodological and biological considerations are inseparable when studying cryptic species. Using shelled marine gastropods, we review how cryptic species have been defined, reported, and the potential implications of cryptic species occurrences for taxonomy and evolution.

Food web trophic control modulates tropical Atlantic reef ecosystems response to marine heat wave intensity and duration. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
In this study we showed that trophic control modulates the effects of marine heatwaves (MHWs) on species biomass dynamics in a tropical and pristine Atlantic reef ecosystem. Our study provides insights into how the strength of predator–prey interactions may generate different outcomes in face of intensified and prolonged MHWs. Abstract Marine heatwaves

Elemental composition and material properties of radular teeth in the heterobranch snail Gastropteron rubrum (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Cephalaspidea) foraging on hard organisms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Mollusks possess highly adapted radular teeth that allows them to forage on their preferred food. We here investigated the teeth of a colorful sea slug that feeds on hard Foraminifera and Porifera. Teeth contained high content of silica to reduce abrasion.

The nudibranch Berghia stephanieae (Valdés, 2005) is not able to initiate a functional symbiosome-like environment to maintain Breviolum minutum (J.E.Parkinson & LaJeunesse 2018)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Photosymbiosis is found in different animal lineages and is best understood in cnidarians. A successful initiation and maintenance of the symbiosis between the animal hosts and the photosymbiotic partners is based on a recognition by specific host ...
