List of Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations Based on Research of Recent Cephalopoda 1870 Through 2015 List of Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations Based on Research of Recent Cephalopoda 1870 Through 2015 Compiled by F.G. Hochberg and M.J. Sweeney 1 Introduction Among the cephalopod references that are difficult to find are the citations for M.Sc. theses and Ph.D. dissertations. Herein is a compiled, bibliographic list of Recent Cephalopoda references up to and including the year 2015. Bibliographic format: author and initials (first name if known), year degree awarded, title (in italics), title translation if non-English language [in brackets], degree, name of university, city, country (in caps) and number of pages (xx if unknown). For those titles written in a non-English language (and that did not include an English translation), Google Translation was used to translate the title. Diacritical marks such as ó, é, ç, ñ, etc are not used in order to facilitate word searches. We would like to acknowledge the assistance of Krystal Krueger (Quasar Program, SBMNH) and Jordan Rex. In addition we thank the following individuals who provided theses/dissertation references and comments for Mexico (Unai Markaida and Roxana de Silva- Davila), Brazil (Erica Vidal) and Russia (Chingis Nigmatullin and Alexander Arkhipkin). 2 Masters Theses and Ph.D. Dissertations Abe, Y. 2008.

  • A Review of Southern Ocean Squids Using Nets and Beaks
    Marine Biodiversity (2020) 50:98 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-020-01113-4 REVIEW A review of Southern Ocean squids using nets and beaks Yves Cherel1 Received: 31 May 2020 /Revised: 31 August 2020 /Accepted: 3 September 2020 # Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung 2020 Abstract This review presents an innovative approach to investigate the teuthofauna from the Southern Ocean by combining two com- plementary data sets, the literature on cephalopod taxonomy and biogeography, together with predator dietary investigations. Sixty squids were recorded south of the Subtropical Front, including one circumpolar Antarctic (Psychroteuthis glacialis Thiele, 1920), 13 circumpolar Southern Ocean, 20 circumpolar subantarctic, eight regional subantarctic, and 12 occasional subantarctic species. A critical evaluation removed five species from the list, and one species has an unknown taxonomic status. The 42 Southern Ocean squids belong to three large taxonomic units, bathyteuthoids (n = 1 species), myopsids (n =1),andoegopsids (n = 40). A high level of endemism (21 species, 50%, all oegopsids) characterizes the Southern Ocean teuthofauna. Seventeen families of oegopsids are represented, with three dominating families, onychoteuthids (seven species, five endemics), ommastrephids (six species, three endemics), and cranchiids (five species, three endemics). Recent improvements in beak identification and taxonomy allowed making new correspondence between beak and species names, such as Galiteuthis suhmi (Hoyle 1886), Liguriella podophtalma Issel, 1908, and the recently described Taonius notalia Evans, in prep. Gonatus phoebetriae beaks were synonymized with those of Gonatopsis octopedatus Sasaki, 1920, thus increasing significantly the number of records and detailing the circumpolar distribution of this rarely caught Southern Ocean squid. The review extends considerably the number of species, including endemics, recorded from the Southern Ocean, but it also highlights that the corresponding species to two well-described beaks (Moroteuthopsis sp.

Specimens were collected monthly 23 from commercial bottom trawl fisheries between February 2009 and February 2011 in three fishing 24 grounds (North Galicia, West Galicia and North Portugal), located between 40.6 -43. 6°N and 8.6 -7.36°W. 25 Based on stomach analysis, horned octopuses in the region consumed mainly crustaceans, followed by 26 teleost fish, echinoderms, molluscs and polychaetes. Molecular analysis of 14 stomach contents 27 confirmed the visual identification of pre y items as well as cannibalistic events.

INTRODUCTION Available catch statistics from 1965 through 1971 indicate • that world-wide landings of squid totalled roughly 700,000 metric tons annually. An additional 100,000 metric tons of cuttlefish and about 160,000 metric tons of octopus were also landed annually. Apart from the well-established squid fishery in the Monterey area of California and the relatively minor inshore squid fishery off Newfoundland, the North American fishing industry has tended to ignore the possibility of further exploitation and utilization of this resource.

The specimen caught at the vent site Gromit (21833 660S, 114817 980W at 2832 m depth) is described here in detail and an amended diagnosis of the species proposed. The external morphology, measurements and internal structure resemble that of males of this species. One of the most remarkable char- acters is the lack of spermathecae and the absence of apical filaments in the oocytes to provide a site for sperm storage. It is suggested that some species of the genera Benthoctopus and Bathypolypus would be the most suitable octopod ancestor of V. hydrothermalis.

Centre for PG Studies (Autonomous), Lawspet Campus, Pondicherry University, Puducherry-605 008, India. *Corresponding Author: Visweswaran B Abstract: Many a report seemed to project at a noble notion of having identified some novel and bioactive compounds claimed to have been found from Sepiella inermis; but lagged to log their novelty scarcely defined due to certain technical blunders they seem to have coldly committed in such valuable pieces of aboriginal research works, reported to have sophistically been accomplished but unnoticed with considerable lack of significant finesse. They have dealt with finer biochemicals already been reported to have been available from S.inermis; yet, to one’s dismay, have failed to maintain certain conventional means meant for original research. This quality review discusses about the illogical math rooting toward and logical aftermath branching from especially certain spectral reports.

  • Characterization of Arm Autotomy in the Octopus, Abdopus Aculeatus (D’Orbigny, 1834)
    Characterization of Arm Autotomy in the Octopus, Abdopus aculeatus (d’Orbigny, 1834) By Jean Sagman Alupay A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair Professor David Lindberg Professor Damian Elias Fall 2013 ABSTRACT Characterization of Arm Autotomy in the Octopus, Abdopus aculeatus (d’Orbigny, 1834) By Jean Sagman Alupay Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair Autotomy is the shedding of a body part as a means of secondary defense against a predator that has already made contact with the organism. This defense mechanism has been widely studied in a few model taxa, specifically lizards, a few groups of arthropods, and some echinoderms. All of these model organisms have a hard endo- or exo-skeleton surrounding the autotomized body part. There are several animals that are capable of autotomizing a limb but do not exhibit the same biological trends that these model organisms have in common. As a result, the mechanisms that underlie autotomy in the hard-bodied animals may not apply for soft bodied organisms. A behavioral ecology approach was used to study arm autotomy in the octopus, Abdopus aculeatus. Investigations concentrated on understanding the mechanistic underpinnings and adaptive value of autotomy in this soft-bodied animal. A. aculeatus was observed in the field on Mactan Island, Philippines in the dry and wet seasons, and compared with populations previously studied in Indonesia.
