Tergipedidae represents a diverse and successful group of aeolid nudibranchs, with approximately 200 species distributed throughout most marine ecosystems and spanning all biogeographical regions of the oceans. However, the systematics of this family remains poorly understood since no modern phylogenetic study has been undertaken to support any of the proposed classifications. The present study is the first molecular phylogeny of Tergipedidae based on partial sequences of two mitochondrial (COI and 16S) genes and one nuclear gene (H3).

- * They compared several techniques including a hemocytometer, a custom image-analysis software, and different types of flow cytometers, concluding that the Millipore Guava flow cytometer was the most effective option overall.
- * The study also determined that two specific assays for total homogenate protein could reliably normalize algal counts to the overall holobiont tissue, enhancing the accuracy of data interpretation.
