Abstract: Abstract The Salazac locality (Gard, southeastern France) is renowned for the richness of its cephalopod fauna (especially ammonites) from the Mortoniceras fallax Zone (uppermost Albian, Lower Cretaceous). However, most ammonite species have paradoxically been scarcely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2020.101541
Abstract: Abstract Cephalopods are a diverse group of species, with a high ecological and economic relevance. Despite this, its species diversity has been studied in few places at regional scale. We herein aim to update the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/pab.2017.36
Abstract: Abstract. Intraspecific variation of organisms is of great importance to correctly carry out taxonomic work, which is a prerequisite for key disciplines in paleontology such as community paleoecology, biostratigraphy, and biogeography. However, intraspecific variation is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/let.12211
Abstract: Here we report the discovery of an Early Carboniferous (Late Visean) 3D cephalopod beak displaying significant similarity to the lower beak of Recent coleoids. It was uncovered in a fragmentarily preserved, longiconic shell from the… read more here.

Deep-sea predator niche segregation revealed by combined cetacean biologging and eDNA analysis of cephalopod prey

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abf5908
Abstract: Reconstruction of deep-sea cephalopod communities in cetacean foraging zones indicates differentiation on prey size, not species. Fundamental insight on predator-prey dynamics in the deep sea is hampered by a lack of combined data on hunting… read more here.

From pristine aragonite to blocky calcite: Exceptional preservation and diagenesis of cephalopod nacre in porous Cretaceous limestones
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0208598
Abstract: Aragonite (along with calcite) is one of the most common polymorphs of the crystalline calcium carbonate that forms the skeletal structures of organisms, but it has relatively low preservation potential. Under ambient conditions and in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.793734
Abstract: In comparison with other molluscs and bilaterians, the genomes of coleoid cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, and octopus) sequenced so far show remarkably different genomic organization that presumably marked the early evolution of this taxon. The main… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.1038064
Abstract: 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 last 60 years. Since the 1960’s, with… read more here.
