Sea slug research

October 17, 2000
From: Cathy Haynes

Hello my name is Cathy Haynes and I am in my final year reading zoology at Newcastle University, England. Right now I am looking into studying for a PhD.

One topic that fascinates me is defence and warning systems shown by seaslugs. I would love to learn more so if anyone could tell me where this kind of research is going on or where I could find out more, I would be very grateful

Thanks
Cathy Haynes

Dear Cathy,
I guess you have found the pages on the Forum concerning defence. If not go to the General Topics page where you will find an index. Apart from the obvious pages on "Defence" look at the Sea Hare pages as well as a couple are directly relevant. One recent review of Sea Hare defences is also worth looking at.

As far as work in progress and where research projects on the topic are being carried out at present, I'm afraid I don't knoe of any. If anyone does, and would like to send information to Cathy could I ask that you send the Forum a copy as well so I can share the information.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
