Some 290 species of squids comprise the order Teuthida that belongs to the molluscan
Class Cephalopoda. Of these, about 30–40 squid species have substantial commercial …

Although genotyping errors affect most data and can markedly influence the biological
conclusions of a study, they are too often neglected. Errors have various causes, but their …

DNA degradation, low DNA concentrations and primer‐site mutations may result in the
incorrect assignment of microsatellite genotypes, potentially biasing population genetic …

Squid, cuttlefish and octopuses, which form the marine mollusc group the cephalopods, are
of great and increasing interest to marine biologists, physiologists, ecologists, environmental …

In this review of seamount ecology, we address a number of key scientific issues concerning
the structure and function of benthic communities, human impacts, and seamount …

Seamounts are one of the major biomes of the global ocean. The last 25 years of research
has seen considerable advances in the understanding of these ecosystems. The …

Cephalopods are a relatively small class of molluscs (~ 800 species), but they support some
large industrial scale fisheries and numerous small-scale, local, artisanal fisheries. For …

Squid are important components of many marine ecosystems from the poles to the equator,
serving as both important predators and prey. Novel aspects of their growth and …
