Frontiers in Zoology, 2005 Background In general shell-less slugs are considered to be slimy animals with a rather dull appearance and a pest to garden plants. But marine slugs usually are beautifully coloured animals belonging to the less-known Opisthobranchia.

No Evidence for a Culturable Bacterial Tetrodotoxin Producer in Pleurobranchaea maculata (Gastropoda: Pleurobranchidae) and Stylochoplana sp. (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida) [PDF]
Toxins, 2015 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in the tissues of many taxonomically diverse organisms. Its origin has been the topic of much debate, with suggestions including endogenous production, acquisition through diet, and symbiotic bacterial ...

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

On Kentrodoris and Jorunna (Gastropoda Opisthobranchia)
Boletim de Zoologia, 1976 As 15 espécies anteriormente descritas como Kentrodoris ou Jorunna são revistas. O resultado é que 6 espécies são válidas, 3 já tinham sido removidas para outros gêneros, uma é sinônimo, e 5 não podem com certeza ser colocadas no presente grupo. Por outro lado, descrições pormenorizadas de 3 materiais, identificados com outras espécies, revelam tratar ...

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the
