The highly conserved oxytocin/vasopressin family of nonapeptides plays many roles across
the animal kingdom, from osmoregulation to reproductive physiology. We investigated the …

Sexual systems vary greatly across molluscs. This diversity includes simultaneous
hermaphroditism, with both sexes functional at the same time. Most nudibranch molluscs are …

Aeolid nudibranchs are well-known for their ability to incorporate cnidarian nematocysts and
use them for defense; this process is tightly linked with the feeding preferences of molluscs …

Social predation is a common strategy used by predators to subdue and consume prey.
Animals that use this strategy have many ways of finding each other, organizing behaviors …

The Pacific nudibranch Hermissenda crassicornis (sensu lato) is a well-known model
