We have developed a global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone to reflect
the regional scales over which the ocean interior varies in terms of biodiversity and function …

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 …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

The diversity of cephalopod species and the differences in morphology and the habitats in
which they live, illustrates the ability of this class of molluscs to adapt to all marine …

Fundamental insight on predator-prey dynamics in the deep sea is hampered by a lack of
combined data on hunting behavior and prey spectra. Deep-sea niche segregation may …

The use of cephalopod beaks in ecological and population dynamics studies has allowed
major advances of our knowledge on the role of cephalopods in marine ecosystems in the …

Cephalopods (nautiluses, cuttlefishes, squids and octopuses) exhibit direct development
and display two major developmental modes: planktonic and benthic. Planktonic hatchlings …

Dietary descriptions based on stomach content are pervasive regardless of the biases
concerning its methodology, statistics and descriptors. We here review different biases on …

Cephalopods (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) play an important role as keystone invertebrates in
various marine ecosystems, as well as being a valuable fisheries resource. At the World …

The projected increase in global population will demand a major increase in global food
production. There is a need for more biomass from the ocean as future food and feed …
