Concerning message #20544:

Hi Bill
following up a little on your stated need for looking at larval and egg mass details for separating some species of Dendrodoris. I agree and there is a manuscript in the Perth Congress symposium volume (recently published by the WA Museum) that starts the ball rolling!

Best wishes

Dear Gilianne,
That's why I referred to your paper in a recent message [#20153]. Unfortunately I feel uncomfortable using many of the studies prior to your work because it's impossible to accurately re-identify the species that the eggs and embryos came from.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
