Abstract
The kleptoplastic sacoglossan Elysia chlorotica shares a requisite, intracellular symbiosis with the plastids (= chloroplasts) of the Xanthophyte alga Vaucheria litorea. Although wild specimens have been used to address a range of biological questions, no studies have thoroughly characterized animal development during the initial establishment of the symbiosis under controlled laboratory conditions. Laboratory culture conditions were modified...
