Kleptoplast photosynthesis is nutritionally relevant in the sea slug Elysia viridis
Scientific Reports, 2017 Several sacoglossan sea slug species feed on macroalgae and incorporate chloroplasts into tubular cells of their digestive diverticula. We investigated the role of the “stolen” chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) in the nutrition of the sea slug Elysia viridis ...

Relationships within Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) based on RNA-Seq data: an initial investigation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) is a diverse (approx. 1000 species) but understudied group of sea slug molluscs. In order to fully comprehend the diversity of nudibranchs and the evolution of character traits within Cladobranchia, a solid ...

Disruption in the Nursery: Chemical defense of Californian sea slugs alters estuarine food webs. [PDF]
, 2021 Molecules of keystone significance have disproportionate influence on an ecosystem, affecting community structure and biodiversity at low concentrations. Here, I show that a potential food reserve is rendered unpalatable by a potent chemical defense that

Frontiers in Marine ScienceSome 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 ...
