Chemoreception and feeding in the grey field slug, Deroceras reticulatum (Müller), with reference to molluscicide formulation [PDF]

, 1980
PhDStudies on Deroceras reticulatum (Müller), the grey field slug, indicate that this animal is responsive to food odours and can therefore. select its food.

Source mechanism regimes for the acoustic signals generated during the expansion of rising and bursting gas slugs in low-viscosity magmas. [PDF]

, 2010
V53C-2281 Strombolian eruptive activity produces gas-rich, magma-poor ejecta suggesting the separation and concentration of volcanic gases within the plumbing system. These gases may then rise as relatively large bubble rafts or individual 'slug' bubbles,

Light modulates the lipidome of the photosynthetic sea slug Elysia timida

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2023
Long-term kleptoplasty, the capability to retain functional stolen chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) for several weeks to months, has been shown in a handful of Sacoglossa sea slugs. One of these sea slugs is Elysia timida, endemic to the Mediterranean, which retains functional chloroplasts of the macroalga Acetabularia acetabulum.

Foraging behavior under starvation conditions is altered via photosynthesis by the marine gastropod, Elysia clarki. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
It has been well documented that nutritional state can influence the foraging behavior of animals. However, photosynthetic animals, those capable of both heterotrophy and symbiotic photosynthesis, may have a delayed behavioral response due to their ...

Laboratory Rearing of the Photosynthetic Sea Slug Elysia crispata (Gastropoda, Sacoglossa): Implications for the Study of Kleptoplasty and Species Conservation. [PDF]

Biology (Basel)
Some Sacoglossa sea slugs are capable of stealing and maintaining functional intracellular chloroplasts—kleptoplasts—from their macroalgal prey for periods of up to several months, a process known as kleptoplasty. Although the cultivation of these marine invertebrates under laboratory conditions is crucial for research in various fields (e.g ...

Cladobranchia (Gastropoda, Nudibranchia) as a Promising Model to Understand the Molecular Evolution of Photosymbiosis in Animals

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Symbiosis with photoautotrophic organisms has evolved in various species and even whole animal lineages, which allowed them to directly benefit from photosynthesis.

The photon menace: kleptoplast protection in the photosynthetic sea slugElysia timida [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
Absorption of excessive light by photosymbiotic organisms leads to the production of reactive oxygen species that can damage both symbiont and host. This is highly relevant in sacoglossan sea slugs that host functional chloroplasts “stolen” from their algal foods (kleptoplasts), due to limited repair capacities resulting from the absence of algal ...

Chloroplast acquisition without the gene transfer in kleptoplastic sea slugs, Plakobranchus ocellatus

eLife, 2021
Some sea slugs sequester chloroplasts from algal food in their intestinal cells and photosynthesize for months. This phenomenon, kleptoplasty, poses a question of how the chloroplast retains its activity without the algal nucleus. There have been debates

Pigment profile in the photosynthetic sea slugElysia viridis(Montagu, 1804) [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2014
Some sacoglossan sea slugs are capable of retaining functional chloroplasts ‘stolen’ from macroalgae (kleptoplasts). The present study surveyed the pigment composition of the sea slug Elysia viridis (Montagu, 1804) and its food source Codium tomentosum from three different locations along the Portuguese coast. The pigments siphonaxanthin, trans and cis-

Provision of phosphates by the host supports kleptoplast functionality in photosynthetic sea slugs

Abstract Phosphorus and nitrogen are two fundamental macronutrients needed for photosynthesis, and their balance in photosymbiotic relationships, like those between corals and their zooxanthellae, is known to be highly important for maintaining a healthy partnership between the host and the symbiont. Kleptoplasty is a
