      Background The giant squid (Architeuthis dux; Steenstrup, 1857) is an enigmatic giant mollusc with a circumglobal distribution in the deep ocean, except in the high Arctic and Antarctic waters. The elusiveness of the ...
    • Molecular clocks indicate turnover and diversification of modern coleoid cephalopods during the Mesozoic marine revolution 

      Tanner, Alastair R; Fuchs, Dirk; Winkelmann, Inger E; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Pankey, M Sabrina; Ribeiro, Angela; Kocot, Kevin M.; Halanych, Kenneth M; Oakley, Todd H; Da Fonseca, Rute R.; Pisani, Davide; Vinther, Jakob (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Coleoid cephalopod molluscs comprise squid, cuttlefish and octopuses, and represent nearly the entire diversity of modern cephalopods. Sophisticated adaptations such as the use of colour for camouflage and communication, ...
