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 ...

Origin and Biogeography of the Colourful Sap‐Sucking Sea Slugs Genus Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Thuridilla Bergh, 1872, is a lineage of herbivorous sea slugs externally distinguished by bright colours and distinctive patterns of lines and spots. Recent work revealed an exceptionally rapid, cryptic radiation of 13 species in the Indo‐Pacific, raising questions about mechanisms of speciation in this group.

A global phylogeny of Elysia Risso, 1818 (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia): molecular systematic insights focusing on European taxa and description of a new species [PDF]

, 2023
The genus Elysia comprises about one-third of the species richness in Sacoglossa. However, the species diversity in the genus remains poorly characterized in some areas like the north-eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. To clarify the systematics

Photoprotective mechanisms in Elysia species hosting Acetabularia chloroplasts shed light on host‐donor compatibility in photosynthetic sea slugs

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract Sacoglossa sea slugs have garnered attention due to their ability to retain intracellular functional chloroplasts from algae, while degrading other algal cell components. While protective mechanisms that limit oxidative damage under excessive light are well documented in plants and algae, the photoprotective strategies employed by these ...

The fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda – a global review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 177-199, February 2024.
ABSTRACT Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic ...

Natural history clues to the evolution of bivalved gastropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Sacoglossa: Juliidae) [PDF]

Marine Biodiversity, 2019
Bivalved gastropods (family Juliidae) are a pan-tropical group of small, green, extraordinary gastropods with a symmetrical clam-like shell. Only a single species of Juliidae has been reported in Malaysia, Berthelinia singaporensis Jensen, 2015, feeding on multiple species of siphonous green algae in the genus Caulerpa.
