Recent studies have shown that coastal and shelf cephalopod populations have increased
globally over the last six decades. Although cephalopod landings are dominated by the …

Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …

The study of molluscan immune systems, in particular those of bivalve molluscs (eg, clams,
oysters, scallops, mussels), has experienced great growth in recent decades, mainly due to …

Cryptic species are common in the ocean, particularly among marine invertebrates such as
octopuses. Delineating cryptic species is particularly problematic in octopus taxonomy …

Introduction Historically considered to be a single cosmopolitan species, the so called
Octopus vulgaris species complex (OVSC) is now recognized to be a group of (at least) six …

Within the context of global climate change and overfishing of fish stocks, there is some
evidence that cephalopod populations are benefiting from this changing setting. These …

The East Asian common octopus has long been synonymized with the Atlantic and
Mediterranean species Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797. However, evidence from molecular …

Cephalopod fisheries are increasing, but little is known about the cryptic diversity of some
key commercial species. Recent studies have shown that cryptic speciation is common in …

Shifts in species distribution, or 'range shifts', are one of the most commonly documented
responses to ocean warming, with important consequences for the function and structure of …

The planktonic paralarval stage of cephalopods (octopus, squids and cuttlefishes) is an
important dispersal phase, particularly of benthic species, that lasts from days to months …
