Diversity and behavior of sea slugs (Heterobranchia) in the rocky tide pools of Conero Riviera (western Adriatic Sea)

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2022
Rocky tide pools are transition environments whose communities are affected by sudden temperature, salinity and nutrient fluctuations. Furthermore, these environments are exposed to multiple stressors and can be easily altered by human trampling.

Two Seas for One Great Diversity: Checklist of the Marine Heterobranchia (Mollusca; Gastropoda) from the Salento Peninsula (South-East Italy)

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
The Salento peninsula is a portion of the Italian mainland separating two distinct Mediterranean basins, the Ionian and the Adriatic seas. Several authors have studied the marine Heterobranchia (Mollusca, Gastropoda) fauna composition living in the ...

Battle of the bands: systematics and phylogeny of the white Goniobranchus nudibranchs with marginal bands (Nudibranchia, Chromodorididae) [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2022
Species identities of Goniobranchus nudibranchs with white bodies and various marginal bands have long been problematic. In this study, specimens of these Goniobranchus nudibranchs from the Philippines, Peninsular Malaysia, Japan, Papua New Guinea, and ...

Packaging and delivery of chemical weapons: a defensive trojan horse stratagem in chromodorid nudibranchs. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundStorage of secondary metabolites with a putative defensive role occurs in the so-called mantle dermal formations (MDFs) that are located in the more exposed parts of the body of most and very likely all members of an entire family of marine ...

Prey preference follows phylogeny: evolutionary dietary patterns within the marine gastropod group Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudibranchia)

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background The impact of predator-prey interactions on the evolution of many marine invertebrates is poorly understood. Since barriers to genetic exchange are less obvious in the marine realm than in terrestrial or freshwater systems, non-allopatric ...

Bioactivity of compounds secreted by symbiont bacteria of Nudibranchs from Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
The aims of this work are to isolate bacterial symbionts from nudibranchs and subsequently to determine anti-Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), cytotoxicity and anti-Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) activities of bio compounds.
