On the origin of Acochlidia and other enigmatic euthyneuran gastropods, with implications for the systematics of Heterobranchia [PDF]
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.

The Reproductive Systems and Classification of the Stiligeridae (Opisthobranchia : Sacoglossa)
Summary The genus Limapontia is included in the family Stilileridae since species of both taxa display in their reproductive systems a common pattern which is described in detail for Ercolania margaritae and its main features are noted in Calliopaea oophaga. Placida dendritica, and three limapontiid species.

Some Sacoglossa sea slugs feed on macroalgae and sequester chloroplasts in the cells of their digestive diverticulum. In some species, mostly within the genus Elysia, the stolen chloroplasts – kleptoplasts – remain photosynthetically competent for weeks ...

Observations during embryonic development in the genus Doto (Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia) [PDF]
While working on taxonomic problems in the family Dotoidae and comparing the Mediterranean and Atlantic species (Schmekel & Kress, in the Press), it became apparent that very little embryological information was available for this group, other than that ...

A molecular phylogeny of Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 sea slugs (Gastropoda, Sacoglossa) reveals a case of flamboyant and cryptic radiation in the marine realm [PDF]
The genus Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 comprises mostly tropical sap-sucking sea slugs species with flamboyantly coloured forms. However, the potential for cryptic or pseudocryptic species masked by convergent or polymorphic colour patterns has not been tested
