Color pattern variation in a shallow-water species of opisthobranch mollusc.

The Biological bulletin - 1 Feb 2013

Valdés Ángel, Ornelas-Gatdula Elysse, Dupont Anne

Abstract excerpt

The color pattern of benthic opisthobranch sea slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda) appears to play an important defensive role, and numerous species seem to have aposematic (warning) colorations. Color pattern is an important trait for opisthobranch identification-this conclusion is based on the assumption that most species have limited color variation. For those species in which color variation is recognized, the...
