There is so much going on in the world of solar slugs!  I came across a couple of nice videos, and thought I’d share.

A broad collection of European slug scientists has launched a project to sequence the genome of Elysia timida.  That will be a wonderful resource for all of us who are interested in slug science.  The video below provides an explanation of the motivation, along with excellent general information.

The video below does a great job of describing the biology of E. viridis, with some beautiful footage.  Can you see the minor error?  (Hint: what is it eating?)
