Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows if secondary metabolites have been looked at in Favorinus japonicus. If so could you refer me to information on the topic.

Thanks,
Jennifer Sneed

Dear Jennifer,
I don't know of any reference to such a study, but I am sure if there is someone will let us know. Are you studying F. japonicus? Since they often feed on aplysiid eggs, I guess it is possible that they could end up with plant metabolites from the Sea Hare's food.
An intersting possibility,
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
