Chemical defenses in Sacoglossan Opisthobranchs: Taxonomic trends and evolutionary implications
Sacoglossan sea slugs (Mollusca: Opisthobranchia) are one of the few groups of specialist herbivores in the marine environment. Sacoglossans feed suctorially on the cell sap of macroalgae, from which they "steal" chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) and deterrent

Functional chloroplasts in metazoan cells - a unique evolutionary strategy in animal life
Background Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia). Intracellular maintenance of plastids in the slug's digestive epithelium has long

Three brazilian Sand-opisthobranchia
Entre os Opistobrânquios, os Acochlidiacea ocupam posição especial, porque possuem saco visceral saliente sem concha; são, em parte, unisexuais, e ocorrem também na água doce. O colar nervoso prefaríngeo aproxima-os aos Tectibranchia. Odhner (1952) estabelece 3 famílias dos Acochlidiacea.
