References on defensive function of nematocysts
February 25, 2000
From: Dave Piatek
Dr. Rudman,
My name is Dave Piatek. I am doing a paper at the University of Rhode Island on aeolid nudibranchs and their ability to use nematocysts for their own defense. I have been having a tough time finding primary sources for reference. Needless to say, I have found a plethora of web references (not excluding your own), and although EXTREMELY useful, I am unable to use them for any purpose other than general reference.
Can you be of any help? I understand that you must be extremely busy, but any direction would be valuable!
Thank you!
Dave

Piatek, D., 2000 (Feb 25) References on defensive function of nematocysts. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1964Dear Dave,
Here is a quick List of References. It's not that difficult for me to generate such a list but I must warn you that I can't guarantee that it is comprehensive. It will however give you a chance to get into the literature.
If you do come across any more relevant references, can you please let me know so I can add them to the list. I would also appreciate a copy of your paper when you finish - or perhaps you would like to prepare a summary page or two which could be added to the Forum.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
