Spatio-temporal dynamics of the nudibranch Doris kyolis living on the sponge Halichondria melanadocia

Doris kyolis (Ev. Marcus and Er. Marcus, 1967) (Nudibranchia, Dorididae) has been reported in tropical and subtropical locations of the western Atlantic, from Florida, USA, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Belmonte et al., 2015; Caballer- Gutiérrez et al., 2015). Throughout its distribution range, it has...
