Contrasting Responses to Harvesting and Environmental Drivers of Fast and Slow Life History Species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
According to their main life history traits, organisms can be arranged in a continuum from fast (species with small body size, short lifespan and high fecundity) to slow (species with opposite characteristics).

Identification and Characterization of a Rhodopsin Kinase Gene in the Suckers of Octopus vulgaris: Looking around Using Arms?

Biology, 2021
In their foraging behavior octopuses rely on arm search movements outside the visual field of the eyes. In these movements the environment is explored primarily by the suckers that line the entire length of the octopus arm.

Vertical Distribution Patterns of Cephalopods in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Cephalopods are important in midwater ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) as both predator and prey. Vertical distribution and migration patterns (both diel and ontogenic) are not known for the majority of deep-water cephalopods.

Fast and Green Method to Control Frauds of Geographical Origin in Traded Cuttlefish Using a Portable Infrared Reflective Instrument

Foods, 2021
An appropriate seafood origin identification is essential for labelling regulation but also economic and ecological issues. Near infrared (NIRS) reflectance spectroscopy was employed to assess the origins of cuttlefish caught from five fishing FAO areas (

The Case for Octopus Consciousness: Temporality

NeuroSci, 2022
Temporality is one of the criteria that Birch has advanced for areas of cognitive ability that may underlie animal sentience. An ability to integrate and use information across time must be more than simply learning pieces of information and retrieving ...

Cephalopod Gastronomy—A Promise for the Future

Frontiers in Communication, 2018
Cephalopods, specifically Coleoidea (squid, octopus, and cuttlefish), have for millennia been used as marine food by humans across the world and across different food cultures.

Quantitation of Water Addition in Octopus Using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR): Development of a Rapid and Non-Destructive Food Analysis Method

Foods, 2022
A rapid and non-destructive method based in time domain reflectometry analysis (TDR), which detects and quantifies the water content in the muscle, was developed for the control of abusive water addition to octopus.

Metabolic trade-offs associated with homeostatic adjustments in pelagic and benthic cephalopods: Comparative evaluations of NH4+/H+ transport machinery in gills

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Cephalopods are ancient mollusks that can be found in many different ecological niches in the ocean ranging from the intertidal zone to the deep-sea abyss.

Parasites of cephalopods in the northern Tyrrhenian Sea (western Mediterranean): new host records and host specificity

Scientia Marina, 1999
This paper examines the species composition of the parasite fauna and the values of infection for seven species of cephalopods in the Mediterranean at the Tyrrhenian Sea (West coast of Italy).

Cephalopod Neural Networks [PDF]

Neurosignals, 2004
Cephalopods have arguably the largest and most complex nervous systems amongst the invertebrates; but despite the squid giant axon being one of the best studied nerve cells in neuroscience, and the availability of superb information on the morphology of some cephalopod brains, there is surprisingly little known about the operation of the neural ...
