Global biodiversity of the genus Ommastrephes (Ommastrephidae: Cephalopoda): an allopatric cryptic species complex
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-03-20)
Cryptic speciation among morphologically homogeneous species is a phenomenon increasingly reported in cosmopolitan marine invertebrates. This situation usually leads to the discovery of new species, each of which occupies ...
Potentially handicapped but otherwise functional: Malformations in prey capture tools show no impacts on octopus life
(Wiley, 2020-10-17)
Larval mortality is a keystone ecological factor for many benthic octopus since it mostly occurs before their settlement in the sea bottom as benthic juveniles. The literature had revealed that records of adult animals ...

Is cryptic biodiversity a common phenomenon among Atlantic oceanic squids?
(MDPI, 2021-03-13)
Historically, marine oceanic open environments have been considered without barriers to dispersal, and the subsequent speciation of lineages from distant areas. As a consequence, many marine pelagic marine invertebrates ...
Morphological and molecular assessments of bobtail squids (Cephalopoda: Sepiolidae) reveal a hidden history of biodiversity
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-20)
Molecular species delimitation assists taxonomic decisions for challenging species, like cryptic species complexes. Bobtail squids (Family Sepiolidae Leach, 1817) are a very diverse group of benthic and nektonic small to ...
Born with bristles: New insights on the Kölliker’s organs of Octopus skin
(Frontiers Media, 2021-05-10)
The entire skin surface of octopus embryos, hatchlings and juveniles bears scattered
tufts of tiny chitinous setae within small pockets, from which they can be everted and
retracted. Known as Kölliker’s organs (KO), they ...
