Seven new “cryptic” species of Discodorididae (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Nudibranchia) from New Caledonia [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 The study of a well-preserved collection of discodorid nudibranchs collected in Koumac, New Caledonia, revealed the presence of seven species new to science belonging to the genera Atagema, Jorunna, Rostanga, and Sclerodoris, although some of the generic

Molecules, 2002 Nudibranchs are shell-less molluscs that are often brightly colored and seemingly defenseless against predation. However, these beautiful animals usually contain large amounts of diet-derived natural products that help defend them against predation.

Isolation of Neurons of a Nudibranch Veliger
The Biological Bulletin, 1992 A technique was developed to dissociate and culture identified sensory neurons and interneurons from the anterolateral propodial ganglia of metamorphically competent veligers of the nudibranch, Onchidoris bilamellata. Receptor cells have been represented as receiving an environmental cue that initiates the settlement response.

Choose Your Weaponry: Selective Storage of a Single Toxic Compound, Latrunculin A, by Closely Related Nudibranch Molluscs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Natural products play an invaluable role as a starting point in the drug discovery process, and plants and animals use many interesting biologically active natural products as a chemical defense mechanism against predators.

Terpenoids in Marine Heterobranch Molluscs
Marine Drugs, 2020 Heterobranch molluscs are rich in natural products. As other marine organisms, these gastropods are still quite unexplored, but they provide a stunning arsenal of compounds with interesting activities.

Distribution Nudibranch and Carnivorous Fish in The North Bali Sea
Jurnal Kelautan TropisThe presence or absence of certain types of carnivorous coralfish in a coral reef ecosystem accurately indicates the health of a coral reef ecosystem and the organisms associated with it; one of them is the nudibranch.

The Biological Bulletin, 1959 1. Nudibranchs exercise considerable choice in the selection of their food. There is a complete chain of conditions from animals feeding exclusively on animal diet to animals depending more or less completely on algae for their food supply.2. Deprived of all other kinds of food, nudibranchs can depend to a certain extent on suitable planktonic ...
