Diel activity correlates with colour pattern morphology of heterobranch sea slugs. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The authors show that daytime activity fundamentally shapes the appearance of prey animals to potential predators and that colour pattern phenotypes likely associated with visual signalling are predominantly found in diurnal species of sea slugs. This study showcases novel methodology combining comparative phylogenetic analyses, animal vision modelling,

Multiple Doris “kerguelenensis” (Nudibranchia) species span the Antarctic Polar Front

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Here, we provide evidence to show genetic connectivity occurs across the Antarctic Polar Front (APF) within multiple species from the Doris “kerguelenensis” sea slug species complex. This appears to be the first example of a benthic direct‐developing species that spans the APF from the southern South America continental shelf to the Antarctic ...

Exploring the performance of mid‐water lagoon nurseries for coral restoration in the Maldives

Restoration Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 7, September 2022., 2022
Small island nations like the Maldives are highly dependent on healthy coral reefs and the ecosystem services they provide. Lately, Maldivian reefs have experienced considerable degradation as a result of severe mass bleaching events and accumulating threats posed by pollution, human development, coral diseases, and outbreaks of corallivores.

Phylogenetic relationships within the Phyllidiidae (Opisthobranchia, Nudibranchia) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2016
The Phyllidiidae (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia, Nudibranchia) is a family of colourful nudibranchs found on Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Despite the abundant and widespread occurrence of many species, their phylogenetic relationships are not well known.

Reassessing North Eastern Atlantic‐Mediterranean species of Trapania (Mollusca, Nudibranchia)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 447-459, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Trapania is the second largest genus belonging to the family Goniodorididae, of which most of the species are reported from Indo‐Pacific waters. To date, there are nine species of Trapania distributed along the temperate coasts of the East Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea: Trapania fusca, Trapania graeffei, Trapania hispalensis, Trapania ...

Citizen scientists contributing to alien species detection: the case of fishes and mollusks in European marine waters

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...

Heterobranch sea slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Ascension Island, South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2017
The small volcanic island of Ascension is situated in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, more than 1500 km from the coast of Africa, its nearest continental area. To date, eight 'opisthobranch' species were reported from the island. As a result of a
