Annelid chaetae: Ultrastructure, arrangement and phylogenetic significance
Müller, Julian (2022-08-26)With approximately 21,000 described species, Annelida represent one of the largest and best studied group of marine invertebrates. Their anatomy is characterized by a metameric organization, which covers potential for an ... -
Bangka Archipelago and Phyllidiidae: A diversity study on marine Heterobranchia in North Sulawesi (Indonesia) with a thorough assessment of the family Phyllidiidae (Nudibranchia, Gastropoda)
Papu, Adelfia (2021-07-02)Sea slug diversity is reflecting the ecosystem and habitat diversity and also the health of these systems. Chapter 3 covers a new study location, Bangka Archipelago (BA). The substrate in BA is dominated by biogenic reefs ... -
Biodiversity and chemical ecology of selected gastropods from Iran, Persian Gulf
Maniei, Fatemeh (2024-02-07)Marine gastropods exhibit unique adaptations to marine environments have become a subject of interest in evolutionary biology. This study unveils <em>Peronia persiae</em> Maniei, Espeland, Mohavedi & Wägele, 2020, a new ... -
Biodiversity of Marine Heterobranchia (Gastropoda) around North Sulawesi Indonesia
Undap, Nani Ingrid Jacquline (2020-07-24)North Sulawesi province is one of the most potential areas in terms of natural marine resources. In North Sulawesi there are many interesting tourist places with high marine biodiversity and many objects are currently under ... -
Evolution of chloroplast sequestration in Sacoglossa (Mollusca, Gastropoda)
Christa, Gregor (2014-08-12)Sacoglossa (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata) is a small taxon of marine gastropods with about 300 described species. It consists of two major lineages: the shelled Oxynoacea and the shell-less Plakobranchacea. The latter is ... -
Evolution of Sacoglossa (Opisthobranchia) with emphasis on their food (Ulvophyceae) and the ability to incorporate kleptoplasts
Händeler, Katharina (2011-03-11)Sacoglossa (Gastropoda) feed mainly on siphonous or siphonocladous green algae and are well-known for their ability to incorporate kleptoplasts from their food algae (Ulvophyceae). Some sacoglossans are capable of a ... -
Examining the Retention and Digestion of Functional Kleptoplasts in Solar-Powered Sea Slugs
Jerschabek Laetz, Elise Marie (2018-01-18)Sacoglossan sea slugs are the only metazoans known to sequester and retain functional chloroplasts within their digestive gland tubules, a process known as functional kleptoplasty. This ability coincides with the capacity ... -
Investigations on Marine Natural Products from Indo-Pacific Nudibranchia (Mollusca: Gastropoda): Chemoecology, Medicinal Potential & Toxin Resistance
Hertzer, Cora (2022-03-22)This thesis focusses on the investigation of marine natural products (MNPs) from nudibranchs of the Central Indo-Pacific Ocean and their food sources. MNPs are important lead structures in the drug discovery process, as ... -
The Phenomenon of Functional Retention of Incorporated Chloroplasts in Sea Slugs (Sacoglossa, Heterobranchia, Mollusca) and Evolutionary Adaptations: Aspects of Photobiology, Cell Biology, Ecology and Behavior
Schmitt, Valérie (2020-01-30)The phenomenon of retention of functional chloroplasts from their food algae in sacoglossan sea slugs - also called kleptoplasty - is a challenge for research, still leaving many questions unsolved, e. g. concerning ... -
Ultrastructure, Formation and Evolution of Chaetae in Annelids
Tilic, Ekin (2016-02-02)Annelid systematics has been quite unstable over the past century. Especially, with the introduction of molecular techniques to unravel phylogenetic relationships, previously established morphology-based phylogenetic trees ...
