Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The Directive 2010/63/EU “on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes” originally induced some concern among cephalopod researchers, because of the inclusion of cephalopod mollusks as the only invertebrates among the protected species. Here

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Cephalopod dynamic camouflage [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 Everyone knows what camouflage is and how it works. And many people (some scientists included) think chameleons are the masters of color change. Wrong on both counts. In this primer, I provide an overview of recent work on the mechanisms and principles of rapid adaptive camouflage of cephalopods — octopus, cuttlefish and squids.

Cephalopods in Mauritanian Waters
, 2017 A total of 16,036 cephalopods belonging to 48 species were caught on the Mauritanian continental shelf and slope, between 80 and 2000 m depth, in November–December of 2007–2010 during the joint Spanish-Mauritanian surveys . Samples were collected using a commercial bottom trawl . Ommastrephidae was the most abundant family (71.1%) in number and weight.

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Closely related whale species can appear similar yet occupy distinct ecological niches. Sato's beaked whale (Berardius minimus) was only recently recognized as a separate species and was previously grouped with Baird's beaked whale (Berardius bairdii), limiting our understanding of their ecological differences.

Dynamic Skin Patterns in Cephalopods
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Cephalopods are unrivaled in the natural world in their ability to alter their visual appearance. These mollusks have evolved a complex system of dermal units under neural, hormonal, and muscular control to produce an astonishing variety of body patterns.

First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...
