Awesome talk by Abigail Pratt on cirrate distribution and their egg-coral associations. Good to see another cirrate lover presenting at @ciac2022! #ciac2022 #cephalopods #cirrata – at Sesimbra, Portugal

Happy to share our latest publication in @CommsBio: nature.com/articles/s42003-0… We studied the evolution of bobtail and bottletail squid, with samples from different world' oceans. A great collaboration with @cefafalopodo @DrShmoo @moragtaite @Ferdix and others absent here. (6/1)

Replying to @cefafalopodo
Until now, I only had the chance to examine a defrozen Octopoteuthis callipso (thanks @MartaAlboP). Thanks to @moragtaite today I've briefly measured 11 specimens of 5 species. This is how they look like on museum jars (some of them collected decades ago).

Mysterious 'blobs' near Norway are full of squid mucus and embryos, study finds

Each blob could contain hundreds of thousands of squid eggs, a DNA analysis revealed.

🚨Out now🚨 In situ recordings of large gelatinous spheres from NE Atlantic, and the first genetic confirmation of egg mass of Illex coindetii (Vérany, 1839) (Cephalopoda, Mollusca) rdcu.be/chK58 @RyanInstitute @CORExGalway @moragtaite, @DrShmoo #squid #molluscMonday
Several examples of large gelatinous spheres, over a metre across, that have been found floating in the sea at various locations around the North East Atlantic. The spheres are mostly translucent except for a dark vein which runs through the centre. Some of these spheres have been shown, through genetics, to be the egg masses of the broadtail shortfin squid Illex coindetii. The spheres may contain thousands of embryos and it is believed to function as a form of protection for the developing eggs. The dark vein is possibly squid ink left behind when the eggs were fertilized.

Today we finished a manuscript on oceanic squids systematics. I think it's a very good way to celebrate the #TaxonomistAppreciationDay @moragtaite @DrShmoo – at Galway, Ireland
