Sequestration of dietary secondary metabolites by three species of sea hares: location, specificity and dynamics

The location of sequestered secondary metabolites in three species of sea hares--Stylocheilus longicauda, Dolabella auricularia and Aplysia californica--was examined. Results suggest that sea hares have generic mechanisms for sequestering algal metabolites rather than mechanisms that are tightly lin...

Zusammenfassung:The location of sequestered secondary metabolites in three species of sea hares--Stylocheilus longicauda, Dolabella auricularia and Aplysia californica--was examined. Results suggest that sea hares have generic mechanisms for sequestering algal metabolites rather than mechanisms that are tightly linked to particular compounds.
