Photosynthetic #sacoglossan sea slugs lose state transitions due to structural changes of their kleptoplasts, whereas Bryopsidales #algae show an evolutionary loss of state transitions, highlighting the diverse light-use strategies of green algae. www.nature.com/articles/s42... @vesahavu.bsky.social

Glad to see our work on light acclimation (state transitions) in #macroalgae and #photosynthetic #seaslugs out in @commsbio.nature.com The story took a bit of a turn, and we ended up showing that these slugs cause massive changes to the plastids they steal from algae. Have a gander: rdcu.be/epBp6
