Bathydoris hodgsoni

Bathydoris hodgsoni can be found in the deep waters of the Weddell Sea. This nudibranch elaborates the drimane sesquiterpene hodgsonal (Structure 7.78) and sequesters it in its mantle tissues.50 164The nudibranch Tritoniella belli collected from McMurdo Sound is the only documented example of an Antarctic mollusc sequestering defensive chemistry from its diet.44 Among the glyceride esters (Structures 7.79-7.81) isolated from this species, chimyl alcohol (Structure 7.79) can also be found in one of its prey items, the stoloniferan coral Clavularia frankliniana. Sequestration of these defensive chemicals is opportunistic, however, and other, still undescribed metabolites are more commonly associated with defense in this mollusc.49... [Pg.277]
