Nudibranchs and cnidarian nematocysts
February 15, 2005
From: Charlie Ellis
Hi, i'm a student from England and have to do a physiological assesment of how nudibranches utilise cnidarian nematocysts to use as defenses in their own 'tentacles'. I am really struggling to find any detailed information about this, and wondered if you had some, or knew where i could obtain some?!
Thanks

If you go to the Aeolid cnidosac and cerata Fact Sheets you will find quite a few links to more information including a page of relevant references.
Best wishes,
