Age Estimation in Sepia officinalis Using Beaks and Statoliths [PDF]
AnimalsEstablishing the age of cephalopods is crucial for understanding their life history, which can then be used for assessment and management. This is particularly true for the common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Linnaeus, 1758), one of the most important ...

Allometric conservatism in the evolution of bird beaks
Evolution Letters, 2022 Evolution can involve periods of rapid divergent adaptation and expansion in the range of diversity, but evolution can also be relatively conservative over certain timescales due to functional, genetic‐developmental, and ecological constraints.

Triassic coleoid beaks and other structures from the Calcareous Alps revisited [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 We performed comprehensive study of seven Carnian, Late Triassic specimens of a coleoid cephalopod Phragmoteuthis bisinuata, on which Suess based his hypothesis on “beaks of P. bisinuata”. Using SEM/EDS, we found that “beaks of P.
