Extreme autotomy and whole-body regeneration in photosynthetic sea slugs [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Autotomy, the voluntary shedding of a body part, is common to distantly-related animals such as arthropods, gastropods, asteroids, amphibians, and lizards1,2. Autotomy is generally followed by regeneration of shed terminal body parts, such as appendages or tails.

Identification of sequestered chloroplasts in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic sacoglossan sea slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2014 Sacoglossan sea slugs are well known for their unique ability among metazoans to incorporate functional chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) in digestive glandular cells, enabling the slugs to use these as energy source when starved for weeks and months. However, members assigned to the shelled Oxynoacea and Limapontioidea (often with dorsal processes) are in ...

Marine Biology, 2015
Several sacoglossan sea slugs utilise chloroplasts ingested from algae for photosynthesis (kleptoplasty), a unique trophic strategy unknown in other animals. Its adaptive significance, especially the behavioural adaptations involved in this phenomenon, has not been fully explored.

Biotechnology Advances
Photosynthesis is a critical biological process that sustains life on earth, primarily occurring in autotrophs such as plants, autotrophic algae, and certain photosynthetic bacteria. The goal of introducing photosynthesis into heterotrophs, such as animals, to harness solar energy and potentially eliminate the risk of starvation remains intriguing ...

Life cycle assessement of the photosynthetic sea slug Elysia crispata
2023Elysia crispata is a sacoglossan sea slug that retains intracellular functional chloroplasts acquired from their macroalgal food sources. This photosynthetic sea slug has lecitotrophic development and stolen chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) are not transmitted vertically (i.e., are absent in eggs and larvae). In this study, sixteen egg masses were monitored

Photoprotective mechanisms in Elysia species hosting Acetabularia chloroplasts shed light on host‐donor compatibility in photosynthetic sea slugs [PDF]
Physiologia PlantarumSacoglossa sea slugs have garnered attention due to their ability to retain intracellular functional chloroplasts from algae, while degrading other algal cell components.

The sacoglossan sea slug, Plakobranchus ocellatus, is a so-called long-term retention form that incorporates chloroplasts for several months and thus is able to starve while maintaining photosynthetic activity. Little is known regarding the taxonomy and food sources of this sacoglossan, but it is suggested that P.

Effects of climate change on the physiology and photobiology of photosynthetic sea slugs
2018A vulnerabilidade das simbioses fotossintéticas marinhas face às alterações climáticas tem recebido particular atenção nos últimos anos. Porém, enquanto existe um número crescente de estudos para as espécies emblemáticas, como os corais, pouco se sabe acerca dos grupos menos carismáticos como as lesmas do mar “movidas a energia solar”. Estes organismos
