Description
Summary:Acknowledgements VAS was funded by a NERC DTG studentship (Project Reference: NE/J500173/1) to the British Antarctic Survey. MSC was financed by NERC core funding to the British Antarctic Survey. We would like to thank Jeremy Skepper for advising us on TEM procedures and processing the mantle tissue samples prior to TEM, Elizabeth M. Harper for advice on Laternula elliptica mantle anatomy for the schematic, Jamie Oliver for technical help with digitising the schematic, Deborah M. Power for in situ hybridisation advice, Valerie J. Smith for advice on immunology and histology, Lloyd S. Peck for vesicle discussions and critical reading of the manuscript and the dive team at Rothera research station, Antarctica for support in animal collection. Diving oversight was provided by the NERC National Facility for Scientific Diving, Oban. Peer reviewed
