Molecular phylogeny of selected dorid nudibranchs based on complete mitochondrial genome [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Dorid nudibranchs are a large group of mollusks with approximately 2,000 recorded species. Although agreement exists on the monophyletic nature of the dorid nudibranch group, the interfamily relationships of the suborder are subject to debate.

Nudibranchs as Sources of Marine Natural Products with Antitumor Activity: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]

Marine Drugs
Nudibranchs have garnered increasing interest in biomedical research due to their complex chemical defense mechanisms, many of which are derived from their diet, including sponges, cnidarians, tunicates, and algae.

Synthase-selected sorting approach identifies a beta-lactone synthase in a nudibranch symbiotic bacterium [PDF]

Microbiome, 2023
Background Nudibranchs comprise a group of > 6000 marine soft-bodied mollusk species known to use secondary metabolites (natural products) for chemical defense.

Social predation by a nudibranch mollusc [PDF]

Integrative Organismal Biology
Abstract Social predation is a common strategy used by predators to subdue and consume prey. Animals that use this strategy have many ways of finding each other, organizing behaviors and consuming prey. There is wide variation in the extent to which these behaviors are coordinated and the stability of individual roles.

Demographic Models and Behavioral Assessments Uncover Distinct Species Histories in the Pseudocryptic Nudibranch Genus <i>Hermissenda</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We reconstructed the speciation history of the recently split pseudocryptic nudibranch genus Hermissenda, finding divergence times in the Pleistocene (1.29–0.55 mya). Demographic modeling and behavioral experiments show no gene flow and assortative mating between sympatric species H. crassicornis (s.s.) and H.

Tracing the evolution of key traits in dorid nudibranchs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Reconstructing trait evolution is critically important for elucidating the processes generating biodiversity. However, this work is in its infancy in non-model clades for which we lack a basic understanding of their ecology and biology.

Reversing a reported case of transoceanic dispersal: Nudibranch identifications among tsunami debris. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
In the aftermath of the 2011 east Japanese earthquake and tsunami, anthropogenic debris from the east coast of Japan floated across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of North America. One such vessel from Iwate Prefecture arrived on the coast of Oregon,

Screening the Irish Marine Biorepository Identifies a New Bryostatin Analog as Potent Inhibitor of Activated B-Cells Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. [PDF]

Chembiochem
Bryostatin analogs are found to be accumulated in the nudibranch Antiopella cristata collected in Irish waters. These are found to be potent inhibitors of activated B‐cells diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma. Activated B‐cell diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (ABC‐DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with poor response to standard chemotherapy.
