Sacoglossan Placida dendritica

April 14, 2001
From: Shauna Spano

I am looking for information on the Sacoglossan Placida dendritica for a report at school. I'm 13 years old, and have been looking everywhere for infomation on it all over the internet and your site. I haven't been able to find anything more than the article on "Solar Powered Sea Slugs". So perhaps someone could lead me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

Dear Shauna,
You almost found some information on Placida dendritica. If you click on any word that is underlined it will take you to a page on that topic. Unfortunately I didn't underline Placida dendritica on the Solar Powered Sea Slugs page, but I have now.

So if you go to the Placida dendritica page you will find references to other pages with photos. There are also other messages on P. dendritica below yours on this page, which have more information which will be useful for you. You will see from reading those that there is some debate about whether Placida dendritica is one species found all around the world or a number of different species, each looking quite similar externally, but each restricted to a particular geographic region and probably having differences in anatomy and life history etc.

If you are looking for other information on the Forum try clicking on the buttons at the top of the page, using the SEARCH facility etc.

Good luck with your project,
You haven't been given the simplest 'species' to research.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
