While working on taxonomic problems in the family Dotoidae and comparing the Mediterranean and Atlantic species (Schmekel & Kress, in the Press), it became apparent that very little embryological information was available for this group, other than that published by Alder & Hancock (1845–55), Pelseneer (1911), Miller (1958, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Liverpool) and Thompson (1967).In the course of studies on the changes in egg-capsule volume in different nudibranch species (Kress, 1971, 1972) a fresh attempt has been made to obtain some comparative data on egg and capsule sizes and on the course and rate of embryonic development in the three species of Doto most commonly found in the Plymouth area, namely D. coronata (Gmelin, 1791), D. pinnatifida (Montagu, 1804) and D. fragilis (Forbes, 1838).

Embryonic development is a dynamic event and is best studied in live animals in real time. Much of our knowledge of the early events of embryogenesis, however, comes from immunofluourescent analysis of fixed embryos. While these studies provide an enormous amount of information about the organization of different structures during development, they can give only a static glimpse of a very dynamic event. More recently real-time fluorescent studies of living embryos have become much more routine and have given new insights to how different structures and organelles (chromosomes, centrosomes, cytoskeleton, etc.) are coordinately regulated. This is in large part due to the development of commercially available fluorescent probes, GFP technology, and newly developed sensitive fluorescent microscopes. For example, live confocal fluorescent analysis proved essential in determining the primary defect in mutations that disrupt early nuclear divisions in Drosophila melanogaster. For organisms in which GPF transgenics is not available, fluorescent probes that label DNA, microtubules, and actin are available for microinjection.
