Environmental fluctuation influences the ontogenetic dispersal and distribution of two ommastrephid squids in the Pacific Ocean
Ommastrephid squids are migratory and economically important species in the Pacific Ocean. Pelagic squids have a short lifespan and are highly...

Biological traits as determinants in the macroecological patterns of distribution in loliginid squids
Macroecological studies have primarily focused on investigating the relationships between body size and geographic distribution on large scales,...

Impact of climate change on the distribution and habitat suitability of the world’s main commercial squids
Climate change is expected to have major negative effects on marine life across phylogenetic groups. Cephalopods, however, have life history...

The vicariant role of Caribbean formation in driving speciation in American loliginid squids: the case of Doryteuthis pealeii (Lesueur 1821)
Speciation processes in the marine environment are often directly associated with vicariant events. In the case of loliginid squids (Cephalopoda:...

Application of CHAPS-PC detergent to determine rhodopsin absorbance spectra in squids
The utility of CHAPS-PC, a detergent combination for solubilizing membrane proteins, was investigated as a substitute to digitonin solution for...

A review of Southern Ocean squids using nets and beaks
This review presents an innovative approach to investigate the teuthofauna from the Southern Ocean by combining two complementary data sets, the...

Effect of visual lateralization on the spatial position of individuals within a school of oval squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana)
The spatial position of individuals within a social group, which provides the group members with benefits and costs, is determined by several...

Insights on long-term ecosystem changes from stable isotopes in historical squid beaks
BackgroundAssessing the historical dynamics of key food web components is crucial to understand how climate change impacts the structure of Arctic...

Two new ‘bottletail squids’ (Cephalopoda: Sepiadariidae: Sepioloidea) from New Zealand, with new observations on Sepioloidea pacifica (Kirk, 1882)
Members of the cephalopod family Sepiadariidae Fischer,
1882 , commonly called ‘bottletail squids’, are known primarily from the Indo-Pacific and...

Chapter 13 Behavior and Fertilization of Squids
Recent studies have highlighted the intriguing reproductive behaviors in some coastal squid species. Here we review briefly pre-copulative male–male...

Finding a home for the ram’s horn squid: phylogenomic analyses support Spirula spirula (Cephalopoda: Decapodiformes) as a close relative of Oegopsida
The molluscan clade Decapodiformes (Cephalopoda) comprises a diverse and enigmatic assemblage including inshore and offshore squids, bobtails,...

Trophic ecology of common bottlenose dolphins in a pelagic insular environment inferred by stable isotopes
The common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) is a top marine predator widely dispersed in coastal and pelagic habitats and with a generalist...

Two new pygmy squids, Idiosepius kijimuna n. sp. and Kodama jujutsu n. gen., n. sp. (Cephalopoda: Idiosepiidae) from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan
Two new pygmy squid from the Ryukyu archipelago, Japan, are described: Kodama jujutsu , n. gen., n. sp. and Idiosepius kijimuna , n. sp. They differ...

First reports of trace element bioaccumulation in the Antarctic deep-sea squid Psychroteuthis glacialis
Trophic interactions in the Antarctic Ocean are likely to be affected by changing environmental conditions. Some of these impacts can be observed,...

Taxonomic considerations of squids of the family Loliginidae (Cephalopoda: Myopsida) supported by morphological, morphometric, and molecular data
The taxonomy of squids in the family Loliginidae Lesueur, 1821 is complicated due to their inconsistent descriptions which hamper identification at...

A vignette of mitogenome and evolutionary status of the giant form of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis (Lesson, 1830) endemic to the northwestern Arabian Sea
The Indo-Pacific purpleback flying squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis has the most complicated population structure reported to date among the...

Multiplicity of sperm receptacles for securing the offspring genetic variability in a pelagic squid
Female eumetazoans often develop sperm storage organs (SSOs). Although the processes of sperm storage may influence sperm competition and cryptic...

Progress in the analysis of english channel loliginid squid diets using DNA-metabarcoding techniques
Study of the diet of squid is hampered by the fact that these animals masticate their prey prior to ingestion and do not necessarily ingest the hard...

High seas fisheries: the Achilles’ heel of major straddling squid resources
Two nektonic squid species, Illex argentinus in the Southwest Atlantic and Dosidicus gigas in the Eastern Pacific, are amongst the largest commercial...
