(Nudibranchia, Cladobranchia) is a photosymbiotic sea slug that feeds exclusively on sea anemones from the genus . It then specifically incorporates dinoflagellates belonging to the Symbiodiniaceae obtained from their prey. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of combining Oxford Nanopore long read and Illumina short-read sequencing data.

- Nudibranchs in the Cladobranchia group have a unique defense mechanism that allows them to use cnidarian nematocysts (venomous capsules) for protection, with approximately 600 species capable of this trait.
- The study examines the morphology of cnidosacs—structures that store these nematocysts—across different Cladobranchia species, revealing significant variation in their structure and suggesting that nematocyst sequestration has evolved independently at least twice.
- Findings indicate that cnidosacs are not the same as similar structures in other families and propose that certain digestive gland features may have developed before the evolution of nematocyst sequestration, enhancing our understanding of these adaptations in nud
The genus Phyllodesmium (Aeolidoidea, Gastropoda) comprises shell-less marine snails, whose defense strategies are not well investigated yet. Here we report results of the first chemical investigation of P. briareum, as well as a re-investigation of P.
