Towards an eDNA assay for decapodiform cephalopods [PDF]
ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2021 Assessing the distribution and diversity of cephalopods using traditional approaches (standard fishing, market collection, and DNA barcoding) is time-consuming. Environmental DNA (eDNA) assays are non-invasive, fast, and can capture the diversity of the species of interest using a specific primer-set.

Natural Habitat and Wild Behaviors of the Dwarf Cuttlefish, <i>Ascarosepion bandense</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGibbons et al. performed a field study to characterize the dwarf cuttlefish—a popular aquarium and research cephalopod—in its natural habitat. They observed dynamic camouflage, social behaviors, and use of an expanded color palette in wild animals compared to laboratory animals.

The Diverse Morphology of Decapodiform Cephalopods: A Summer Lecture [PDF]
Contemporary Mathematics and Science Education, 2020 Today, the need for marine education has been declared for the conservation of marine life and the marine environment. Understanding the diversity of marine life is essential, especially since there are many organisms that live in the sea. The first step in understanding biodiversity is to follow your interest in exploring many different kinds of life.

Unveiling unselective fishing in China: A nationwide meta‐analysis of multispecies fisheries
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 142-158, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Understanding and managing fishery selectivity to target species and desirable size are instrumental to fisheries management. China, as the world's largest producer of marine capture fisheries, has been widely perceived to possess unselective domestic fisheries.

Every hooked beak is maintained by a prey: Ecological signal in cephalopod beak shape
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 2015-2028, August 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Beaks are among the few hard parts of coleoid cephalopods and are informative for species identification. Although mandible shape has been shown to be adaptive in many vertebrate taxa, it has been suggested that the shape of coleoid beaks does not bear any ecological ...

A real‐world dataset and data simulation algorithm for automated fish species identification
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 199-209, November 2021., 2021 Developing high‐performing machine learning algorithms requires large amounts of annotated data for training. Manual annotation of data is labour‐intensive, and the cost/ effort needed is an important obstacle to the development and deployment of automated analysis.

The influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the bacterial microbiome of gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) in their natural environment. [PDF]
Sci RepThe microbiome is a key factor in the health, well-being, and success of vertebrates, contributing to the adaptive capacity of the host. However, the impact of geographic and biotic factors that may affect the microbiome of wild birds in polar ...

Topographical distribution of visual cell nuclei in the retina in relation to the habitat of five species of Decapodiformes (Cephalopoda) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2010 Studies of retinal histology of fish have established that the position of an area of high cell density reflects both the habitat and feeding behaviour. Here, we discuss potential relationships between biology, specifically behaviour and ecology, and visual axes (estimated from density of visual cell nuclei) in five species of Decapodiformes.

The functional-morphological adaptive strategy of digestive organs of decapodiform cephalopods
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2016 The digestive organs in decapodiform cephalopod species morphologically vary by individual lifestyle. We examined the following six species of adult decapodiformes cephalopods representing different habitats: Todarodes pacificus, Loligo bleekeri, Loligo edulis, Watasenia scintillans (pelagic), Sepia lycidas and Euprymna morsei (benthic). L.
