Fig. 3. Maximum parsimony consensus tree within Paromoionchis gen. nov., performed with concatenated ITS2 and 28S DNA sequences from 41 in A new genus and three new species of mangrove slugs from the Indo-West Pacific (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Euthyneura: Onchidiidae)
Fig. 3. Maximum parsimony consensus tree within Paromoionchis gen. nov., performed with concatenated ITS2 and 28S DNA sequences from 41 individuals (including 7 outgroups). Numbers by the branches are the bootstrap values (only numbers> 50% are indicated). Numbers for each individual correspond to unique identifiers for DNA extraction. All sequences for specimens of Paromoionchis gen. nov. are new. Information on specimens can be found in the lists of material examined and in Table 1. Letters A and B correspond to clades referred to in the text. The color used for each (mitochondrial) unit is the same as that used in Figs 1–2 and 4–6.

Pigment, fatty acid and lipid data of the sea slug Elysia crispata in two habitat depths
<p>Sacoglossan sea slugs are the only animals able to sequester functional chloroplasts from the algae they feed on and keep them functional for more than a month. Here, we characterized <em>Elysia crispata</em> distributed in a coral reef from Southern Gulf of Mexico at two depths: 0-4 m and 8-12 m. We provide information on the concentrations of 12 pigments, 27 fatty acids, and total lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid amounts. </p>

Photosynthesis from stolen chloroplasts can support sea slug reproductive fitness
<p>Some sea slugs are able to steal functional chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) from their algal food sources, but the role and relevance of photosynthesis to the animal host remain controversial. While some researchers claim that kleptoplasts are slowly digestible 'snacks', others advocate that they enhance the overall fitness of sea slugs much more profoundly. Our analysis show light-dependent incorporation of <sup>13</sup>C and <sup>15</sup>N in the albumen gland and gonadal follicles of the sea slug <i>Elysia timida</i>, representing translocation of photosynthates to kleptoplast-free reproductive organs. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with reported roles in reproduction were produced in the sea slug cells using labelled precursors translocated from the kleptoplasts. Finally, we report reduced fecundity of <i>E. timida</i> by limiting kleptoplast photosynthesis. The present study indicates that photosynthesis enhances the reproductive fitness of kleptoplast-bearing sea slugs, confirming the biological relevance of this remarkable association between a metazoan and an algal-derived organelle.</p>
Roper et al data on mite transmission between slugs
<p>Transmission between hosts is crucial to the growth, development and reproduction of many parasites. As a consequence, parasites are under selection to maximise transmission success and exhibit many behavioural and morphological adaptations that allow detection of, and movement between, hosts. However, transmission success is not determined by parasites alone, but is also shaped by host behaviours. Often, host behaviours function to minimise the risk of exposure to parasites; in some cases, however, host behaviours may be manipulated by parasites to increase transmission success. In this study, we investigated transmission of the ectoparasitic mite Riccardoella oudemansi between slug (<em>Limacus maculatus</em>) hosts, considering the role of both host and parasite behaviour in determining transmission success. Host-host transmission occurred when slugs were in physical contact, but that mites were also capable of moving across the substrate to locate new hosts, a process facilitated by mucus trails. We found no strong evidence that slugs avoid parasitised conspecifics, or that mites manipulate slug behaviour to increase transmission. Finally, mites showed a preference for the mucus of parasitised slugs, but did not discriminate between mucus from their own host versus another parasitised slug. A general preference for mucus from parasitised slugs is likely to be important in encouraging mites to remain in close contact with their host and may also facilitate host-switching and outbreeding. We encourage further study of parasitism by Riccardoella in limacid slugs, where cross-species variation in host social behaviour may drive differences in the rate and success of parasite transmission across slug species.</p>

DataSet for Crystals and inclined conduits: analogue experiments for slug-driven volcanism.
<p>Dataset to accompany the manuscript for Crystals and inclined conduits: analogue experiments for slug-driven volcanism. Note the data has been revised since earlier versions (04/04/2023) because the authors noticed errors in our viscosity values which had knock-on effects with other parameters (Nf, Re). We have also rectified an error discovered in the calculation of original Fr values that occurred due to a typo.</p> <p> </p>
