Bonn, den 16.11.2010Preface
Everyone reading this PhD thesis may be astonished by the fact that one and the
same target of this study has been carried out in several types, e.g. ampli cation
reactions or di erent primers for the same aim. The reason for this is the ongoing
search for nancial support and lab facilities during this project. So research was
executed in three di erent laboratories in Bonn; Institut fur Evolutionsbiologie
und Okologie, Institut fur Zellul are und Molekulare Botanik (IZMB) and the
Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK).
Eventually, nancial support of the DFG (German Science Foundation) (Wa
618/8-3) and the opportunity to get my "own" place in the lab of the ZFMK led
to working options free from travelling through di erent institutes with their
di erent possibilities for the last months of lab research. Di erent methods
according to di erent places are explicated where they occur.
At this point I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Heike W agele (ZFMK), my
supervisor, for her sustained e ort that enabled me to process this thesis and
Prof. Dr. V. Knoop (IZMB) who employed me for some months in his lab. I
thank both of them for their help in getting a PhD grant from the University
Bonn.
I am aware that the taxon Opisthobranchia does most likely not refer to a
monophyletic clade. Nevertheless, the term is used within this thesis. It com-
prises the taxon groups of "sea slugs" (coll.) that share the same habitat and
developed similar morphological structures, e.g. cerata (dorsal appendices) or
rhinophores (paired chemosensory organs, located in the head region of the
animal).
Three publications are included as separate hardcopies. H andeler et al. 2009
and H andeler et al. 2010 are part of this thesis, which is explained in detail
in the chapter "Results". W agele et al. 2010 is included since all publications
that contain data of this thesis has to be added to the thesis according to the
Promotionsordnung.
