On the Plakobranchidae (Gastropoda, Sacoglossa) from soft sediment habitats of Koh Tao, Gulf of Thailand, with descriptions of two new species [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 Research in recent years have provided rapid advances in biogeographic and taxonomic documentation of sea slugs around the world. However, efforts are lacking in surveying most coastlines and habitats in South-East Asia.

First record of the Thuridilla indopacifica Gosliner, 1995 (Sacoglossa, Plakobranchidae) from the Gulf of Oman, Iran [PDF]
International Journal of Aquatic Biology, 2020 Thuridilla indopacifica Gosliner, 1995 (Sacoglossa, Plakobranchidae) is a rare species in the Sacoglossan nudibranch that only reported from the South Africa and Western Australia. This study records T. indopacifica from the Gulf of Oman for the first time showing its expansion to the northwest of Indian Ocean.

COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OF ELYSIABANGTAWAENSIS SWENNEN, 1998, ELYSIA LEUCOLEGNOTE JENSEN, 1990, AND ELYSIA SINGAPORENSIS SWENNEN, 2011 (GASTROPODA: SACOGLOSSA: PLAKOBRANCHIDAE) [PDF]
Malaysian Journal of Science, 2020 Reproductive systems of three sacoglossan species, Elysia bangtawaensis Swennen, 1998, E. leucolegnote Jensen, 1990, and E. singaporensis Swennen, 2011, were analyzed using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, whole mount technique and a stereomicroscope in order to investigate its reproductive system.

Transcriptomic evidence that longevity of acquired plastids in the photosynthetic slugs Elysia timida and Plakobranchus ocellatus does not entail lateral transfer of algal nuclear genes. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2011 Sacoglossan sea slugs are unique in the animal kingdom in that they sequester and maintain active plastids that they acquire from the siphonaceous algae upon which they feed, making the animals photosynthetic.

Sistemática de los gasterópodos de la familia plakobranchidae (Heterobranchia, Sacoglossa), con especial atención a las especies de ámbito europeo [PDF]
, 2020 Los Sacoglossa constituyen un grupo de más de 300 especies de heterobranquios marinos distribuidos desde la zona somera a la intermareal, en estrecha asociación con las macroalgas que constituyen la fuente de su alimento. La diversidad de sus miembros aumenta desde las regiones templadas hasta las tropicales y, además, presentan una gran variabilidad ...

On the origin of Acochlidia and other enigmatic euthyneuran gastropods, with implications for the systematics of Heterobranchia. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2010 Background A robust phylogenetic hypothesis of euthyneuran gastropods, as a basis to reconstructing their evolutionary history, is still hindered by several groups of aberrant, more or less worm-like slugs with unclear phylogenetic relationships.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of genera in the family Plakobranchidae (Mollusca: Opisthobranchia: Sacoglossa) [PDF]
Records of the Western Australian Museum, Supplement, 2006 Genera in the largest family of the suborder Sacoglossa (Mollusca; Opisthobranchia), the Plakobranchidae Gray, 1840, have been systematically revised numerous times since the 1800s. Several authors have questioned the validity and inter-relationships of the genera Tridachia Moerch, 1863, Tridachiella MacFarland, 1924, Elysiella Bergh, 1872, Pattydaya ...
