Two specimens were found in association with the invasive hydrozoan Cordylophora caspia (Pallas, 1771) and kept in the laboratory for taxonomy purposes. After two days, batches of eggs were seen in C. caspia branches, while the nudibranchs were also actively feeding on the hydrozoan polyps. The fast generation times of T. adspersa, along with its food preference for C. caspia, might suggest a positive role of the nudibranch on controlling this invasive hydrozoan in the Guadiana estuary. Introduction routes and facilitation interactions are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/d12060214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,28]],"date-time":"2020-05-28T08:27:48Z","timestamp":1590654468000},"page":"214","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["First Record of the Nudibranch Tenellia adspersa (Nordmann, 1845) in Portugal, Associated with the Invasive Hydrozoan Cordylophora caspia (Pallas, 1771)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2105-6639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Encarna\u00e7\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CCMAR\u2013Centre of Marine Sciences, University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Seyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CCMAR\u2013Centre of Marine Sciences, University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0939-9885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Alexandra","family":"Teod\u00f3sio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CCMAR\u2013Centre of Marine Sciences, University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4983-9782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Leit\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CCMAR\u2013Centre of Marine Sciences, University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"153","article-title":"Diversity and distribution of the Gastropoda Opisthobranchia from the Atlantic Ocean: A global biogeographic approach","volume":"73","author":"Bertsch","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sci.
