Polycera hedgpethi research
October 3, 2005
From: Nerida Wilson
Hi Bill,
I think this is a good time to confess my interest in Polycera hedgpethi and other similar 'travelling' nudibranchs. Mick Tait and the WAM folks have been assisting me in gathering WA material. Dennis Hutson has also been incredibly helpful in monitoring a SA population. I am currently gathering material to look at global gene flow patterns, and would certainly appreciate any specimens (particularly from areas where it is less common) preserved in ethanol. The Sea Slug Forum certainly assists in attempting these types of projects, and I am very grateful
kind regards
Nerida

Wilson, N.G., 2005 (Oct 3) Polycera hedgpethi research. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14891Dear Nerida,
Glad to hear of your interest. It's valuable to know because it means that if we come across these animals in our fieldwork we know someone is working on them and there is some point in taking time to preserve them for DNA. All our collections are routinely preserved in formalin, although we now are building an ethanol preserved 'DNA' collection as well. If we find any of these hitch-hikers we will let you know.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
