Animal biosynthesis of complex polyketides in a photosynthetic partnership

Nature Communications, 2020
Complex polyketides are usually produced by microbes, whereas the origin of polyketides found in animals remained unknown. This study shows that sacoglossan animals, such as sea slugs, employ fatty acid synthase-like proteins to produce microbe-like ...

Identification guide to the heterobranch sea slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Bocas del Toro, Panama [PDF]

, 2016
The Bocas del Toro Archipelago is located off the Caribbean coast of Panama. Until now, only 19 species of heterobranch sea slugs have been formally reported from this area; this number constitutes a fraction of total diversity in the Caribbean region ...

Food shaped photosynthesis: Photophysiology of the sea slug Elysia viridis fed with two alternative chloroplast donors [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Open Research Europe
Background Some Sacoglossa sea slugs steal and integrate chloroplasts derived from the algae they feed on into their cells where they continue to function photosynthetically, a process termed kleptoplasty.

SEM/EDX analysis of stomach contents of a sea slug snacking on a polluted seafloor reveal microplastics as a component of its diet

Scientific Reports, 2022
Understanding the impacts of microplastics on living organisms in aquatic habitats is one of the hottest research topics worldwide. Despite increased attention, investigating microplastics in underwater environments remains a problematic task, due to the

Sea Slugs as Brilliant Indicators of Climate Change in Central California [PDF]

, 2011
This project examines whether rocky intertidal nudibranchs (brightly colored shallow-water mollusks also known as sea slugs) can be used as fine-scale indicators of inter-annual and decadal-scale climate variability.

Taxonomic assessment and diversity of sea slugs (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) along the Karnataka Coast, India [PDF]

Sea slugs in Karnataka's marine ecosystems have been understudied, resulting in limited documentation. To address this gap, extensive field surveys were conducted across the rocky reefs and off-shore patchy reefs of Karnataka, extending up to a depth of ...
