Alternative male mating behaviors dependent on relative body size in captive oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana (Cephalopoda, Loliginidae).
We observed the reproductive behavior of the oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana in captivity. The male used three different mating behaviors: male-parallel (MP), male-upturned (MU) and sneaking. Male competition over females frequently occurred before and during the female egg-laying period, and the outcome of most fights depended on male body size. Larger males guarded their partners from othe...
متن کاملEleven Novel Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci for Oval Squid Sepioteuthis Lessoniana (Shiro-Ika Type)
The oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana is one of the most economically important squid species in Japan; however, its population structure is poorly understood due to the lack of hypervariable markers. Such information is critical for managing sustainable fisheries, as well as for ensuring the existence of wild S. lessoniana stocks. Eleven candidate microsatellite loci were isolated from a smal...
متن کاملMosaic Organization of Body Pattern Control in the Optic Lobe of Squids.
Cephalopods in nature undergo highly dynamic skin coloration changes that allow rapid camouflage and intraspecies communication. The optic lobe is thought to play a key role in controlling the expansion of the chromatophores that generate these diverse body patterns. However, the functional organization of the optic lobe and neural control of the various body patterns by the optic lobe are larg...
متن کاملDistribution of glutamic acid decarboxylase immunoreactivity within the brain of oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana
Coleoid cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, and octopus) have the largest and most complex brains of all invertebrates and show behavioral abilities similar to those of vertebrates. Among the coleoids, the oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana forms well-structured schools that are indicative of sociality. These behaviors are re flected in aspects of the well-developed brain. In this study, we focused...
متن کاملOntogenetic changes in mantle kinematics during escape-jet locomotion in the oval squid, Sepioteuthis lessoniana Lesson, 1830.
We investigated the kinematics of mantle movement during escape jet behavior in an ontogenetic series of Sepioteuthis lessoniana, the oval squid. Changes in mantle diameter during the jet were measured from digitized S-VHS video fields of tethered animals that ranged in age from hatchlings to 9 weeks. The amplitude of both mantle contraction and mantle hyperinflation (expressed as percent chang...
