Chloroplast acquisition without the gene transfer in kleptoplastic sea slugs, Plakobranchus ocellatus
Some sea slugs sequester chloroplasts from algal food in their intestinal cells and
photosynthesize for months. This phenomenon, kleptoplasty, poses a question of how the …

Crawl away from the light! Assessing behavioral and physiological photoprotective mechanisms in tropical solar-powered sea slugs exposed to natural light intensities
L Burgués Palau, G Senna, EMJ Laetz - Marine Biology, 2024 - Springer
Photosynthesizers face a trade-off regarding light: they need enough to maintain high
photosynthetic rates, yet excess leads to oxidative stress. Despite this, light and its …
