Abstract Background: Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia). Intracellular maintenance of plastids in the slug's digestive epithelium has long attracted interest given its implications for understanding the evolution of endosymbiosis. However, photosynthetic ability varies widely among sacoglossans; some species have no plastid retention while others survive for months solely on photosynthesis. We present a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for the Sacoglossa and a survey of kleptoplasty from representatives of all major clades. We sought to quantify variation in photosynthetic ability among lineages, identify phylogenetic origins of plastid retention, and assess whether kleptoplasty was a key character in the radiation of the Sacoglossa. -

Ringiculid Bubble Snails Recovered As the Sister Group to Sea Slugs
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ringiculid bubble snails recovered as the sister group to sea slugs (Nudipleura) Received: 13 May 2016 Yasunori Kano1, Bastian Brenzinger2,3, Alexander Nützel4, Nerida G. Wilson5 & Accepted: 08 July 2016 Michael Schrödl2,3 Published: 08 August 2016 Euthyneuran gastropods represent one of the most diverse lineages in Mollusca (with over 30,000 species), play significant ecological roles in aquatic and terrestrial environments and affect many aspects of human life. However, our understanding of their evolutionary relationships remains incomplete due to missing data for key phylogenetic lineages. The present study integrates such a neglected, ancient snail family Ringiculidae into a molecular systematics of Euthyneura for the first time, and is supplemented by the first microanatomical data. Surprisingly, both molecular and morphological features present compelling evidence for the common ancestry of ringiculid snails with the highly dissimilar Nudipleura—the most species-rich and well-known taxon of sea slugs (nudibranchs and pleurobranchoids). A new taxon name Ringipleura is proposed here for these long-lost sisters, as one of three major euthyneuran clades with late Palaeozoic origins, along with Acteonacea (Acteonoidea + Rissoelloidea) and Tectipleura (Euopisthobranchia + Panpulmonata). The early Euthyneura are suggested to be at least temporary burrowers with a characteristic ‘bubble’ shell, hypertrophied foot and headshield as exemplified by many extant subtaxa with an infaunal mode of life, while the expansion of the mantle might have triggered the explosive Mesozoic radiation of the clade into diverse ecological niches. The traditional gastropod subclass Euthyneura is a highly diverse clade of snails and slugs with at least 30,000 living species1,2. -

Seasearch North Wales 2019 Summary Report Report prepared by Lucy Kay, Seasearch Tutor Seasearch Gogledd Cymru 2019 Cynllun gwirfoddol sy’n arolygu rhywogaethau a chynefinoedd morol yw Seasearch ar gyfer deifwyr sy’n deifio yn eu hamser hamdden ym Mhrydain ac Iwerddon. Mae’r cynllun yn cael ei gydlynu yn genedlaethol gan y Gymdeithas Cadwraeth Forol. Mae’r adroddiad hwn yn crynhoi gweithgareddau Seasearch yng Ngogledd Cymru yn ystod 2019. Mae’n cynnwys crynodebau o’r safleoedd a arolygwyd ac yn nodi rhywogaethau a chynefinoedd prin neu anghyffredin a welwyd. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys nifer o gynefinoedd a rhywogaethau â blaenoriaeth yng Nghymru. Nid yw’r adroddiad hwn yn cynnwys yr holl fanylion data gan fod y rhain wedi eu cofnodi yn y gronfa ddata Marine Recorder a gyflwynwyd i Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i’w defnyddio yn ei weithgareddau cadwraeth forol. Mae’r data rhywogaethau hefyd ar gael ar-lein drwy Rwydwaith Bioamrywiaeth Cenedlaethol Atlas. Yn ystod 2019, roedd Seasearch yng Ngogledd Cymru yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar rywogaethau a chynefinoedd â blaenoriaeth yn ogystal â chasglu gwybodaeth am wely’r môr a bywyd morol ar gyfer safleoedd nad oeddent wedi cael eu harolygu yn flaenorol. Mae’r data o Ogledd Cymru yn 2019 yn cynnwys 15 o Ffurflenni Arolygu a 34 o Ffurflenni Arsylwi, sef 49 ffurflen i gyd. Yn 2019 cyflawnwyd gwaith Seasearch yng Ngogledd Cymru gan Holly Date, cydlynydd rhanbarthol Seasearch yng Ngogledd Cymru; mae ardal Seasearch Gogledd Cymru yn ymestyn o Aberystwyth i Afon Dyfrdwy.

ABSTRACT - A new species of eolid (Mollusca, Nudibranchia)is described from Nigeria and named in honour of Eveline Marcus, Flabellina evelinae. INTRODUCTION The eolid molluscs described in this paper were collected by Dr. Jim Wright near Port Harcourt, Nigeria and sent to me in April 1983. They appear to belong to a hitherto undescribed species. The first of a long series of important taxonomic pa pers by Ernst and Eveline Marcus describing the opisthobranch molluscs of the Atlantic Ocean was published in 1955. Although under the authorship of Ernst Marcus, right from the start Eveline was involved in the work as the artist while Ernst delved into the relevant literature. In the 1960s nu - merous papers under joint authorship followed until Ernst's death, and it is to her credit that Eveline has continued the detailed and meticulous work right up to the present time. The papers followed the earlier work of Odhner (1939) and Macnae (1954), and quickly adopted a form of presentation of taxonomic information of a very high standard. Taxonomic papers can be tedious, but they are an essential foundation on which later ecological, behavioural and physiological studies are based. In consequence they must be well organised for quick reference to the relevant section, clearly illus - trated for immediate comparison by future workers, comprehen sive since future work may reveal some character of taxono - mic importance which had hitherto been considered trivial , yet concisely worded to save wading through irrelevant de tail. -

17 September 2009 Nudibranch Systematic Index page - 1 NUDIBRANCH SYSTEMATIC INDEX Second Online Edition compiled by Gary McDonald 17 September 2009 Gary McDonald, Long Marine Lab, 100 Shaffer Rd., Santa Cruz, Cal. 95060 17 September 2009 Nudibranch Systematic Index page - 2 This is an index of the more than 7,000 nudibranch reprints and books in my collection. I have indexed them only for information concerning systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, & description of taxa (as these are my areas of interest, and to have tried to index for areas such as physiology, behavior, ecology, neurophysiology, anatomy, etc. would have made the job too large and I would have given up long ago). This is a working list and as such may contain errors, but it should allow you to quickly find information concerning the description, taxonomy, or systematics of almost any species of nudibranch. The phylogenetic hierarchy used is based on Traite de Zoologie, with a few additions and changes (since this is intended to be an index, and not a definitive classification, I have not attempted to update the hierarchy to reflect recent changes). The full citation for any of the authors and dates listed may be found in the nudibranch bibliography at http://repositories.cdlib.org/ims/Bibliographia_Nudibranchia_second_edition/. Names in square brackets and preceded by an equal sign are synonyms which were listed as such in at least one of the cited papers. If only a generic name is listed in square brackets after a species name, it indicates that the generic allocation of the species has changed, but the specific epithet is the same. -
<I>Bosellia</I>
ON THE GENUS BOSELLIA (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA; ASCOGLOSSA) EVELINE D. B.-R. MARCUS Caixa Postal 6994, 01000 sao Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT Three species of Bosellia Trinchese, 1891, were collected from two spe- cies of Halimeda: B. corinneae, new for science; B. mimetica curasoae Marcus, 1970, new for North America; and B. marcusi d. B.-R. Marcus, 1972. Anatomical descriptions and comparisons of the three species are given. Insemination is different: in B. m. curasoae sperm is injected into the female pore, in B. marcusi sperm is injected into the pore of a bursa at the hind end of the body, and in B. corinneae hypodermic impregnation occurs. INTRODUCTION A rich material of Bosellia Trinchese, 1891, from the warm western Atlantic comprises three different species: B. mimetica curasoae Marcus (1970: 50, figs. 91-98), B. marcusi d. B.-R. Marcus (1972: 294, figs. 19- 22), and 8. corinneae, spec. nov. Diva Diniz Correa, Sao Paulo, collected the first western Atlantic Bose/- fia, B. mimetica curasoae, at Cura(;ao in 1962 and 1966. A second species was found in Halimeda from Grassy Key, Florida, by Frederick M. Bayer, Robert C. Work, and me on 22. X. 1969, and described as Bosellia marcusi (1972). During a later stay at Miami (I.-II. 1972), I continued collecting Halimeda for Bosellias, helped by Lt. Col. Corinne E. Edwards, USAF, Coconut Grove, and succeeded in finding more specimens of 8. marcusi (Fig. 1) and B. mimetica cllrasoae (Fig. 2), new for North America, and a third species, which is new for science. I describe it here as Bosellia corinneae (Figs.
