Three new species of Phyllodesmium Ehrenberg (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia: Aeolidoidea), and a revised phylogenetic analysis
Mimicry and camouflage are an important protective measure for nudibranch gastropods. In the genus Phyllodesmium, species have evolved elaborate morphological traits that allow them to be very cryptic among their coral prey. In this study, three new species of Phyllodesmium from the Philippine islands are described: Phyllodesmium tuberculatum n. sp., Phyllodesmium pinnatum n. sp., and Phyllodes...
متن کاملSecondary metabolome and its defensive role in the aeolidoidean Phyllodesmium longicirrum, (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia, Nudibranchia)
Phyllodesmium longicirrum is the largest aeolidoidean species known to date, and extremely rich in terpenoid chemistry. Herein we report the isolation of a total of 19 secondary metabolites from a single specimen of this species, i.e., steroids 1-4, cembranoid diterpenes 5-13, complex biscembranoids 14 and 15, and the chatancin-type diterpenes 16-19. These compounds resemble those from soft cor...

متن کاملA New Species of Adalaria (Nudibranchia: Onchidorididae) from the Northeastern Pacific
The genus Adalaria, in the family Onchidorididae, is composed of small white, off-white, or yellow phanerobranch dorid nudibranchs with a spiculose dorsum and tubercles, an ample mantle margin, lamellate rhinophores and a veil-like head. They are bryozoan feeders and are similar to another bryozoan feeding genus, Onchidoris, which are usually white or brown in colour. Both genera have a reduced...
متن کاملA new Xylaria species from Iran
Three species of the genus Xylaria (Xylariaceae) are presented based on collections from Guilan Province, Iran. Both morphological and molecular characteristics were used in order to identify these species. Xylaria longissima sp. nov. is described and illustrated as a new Xylaria species and X. cf. striata and X. xylarioides are reported as new records from Iranian mycobiota. Xylaria longissima...
