Stable Isotopes Reveal Algal Assimilation in the Carnivorous Sea Slug Pleurobranchaea maculata (Quoy & Gaimard, 1832) on Patagonian Coasts

open access: yes, 2022
Exotic species that achieve successful invasions often show considerable dietary plasticity in resource choice, sometimes adjusting their diet to new or variable resources. This can increase species' impact in the recipient environment. In this study, we

Microsatellite development for a tetrodotoxin-containing sea slug (Pleurobranchaea maculata)

open access: yes, 2014
Using 454 pyrosequencing data, 24 polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified for the grey side-gilled sea slug, Pleurobranchaea maculata. The grey side-gilled sea slug is found throughout the western and south Pacific and is known to contain high

Development of a non-lethal biopsy technique for estimating total tetrodotoxin concentrations in the grey side-gilled sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata

open access: yes, 2013
High concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX) have been detected in some New Zealand populations of Pleurobranchaea maculata (grey side-gilled sea slug). Within toxic populations there is significant variability in TTX concentrations among individuals, with ...
