Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular prey identification in wild Octopus vulgaris paralarvae
TL;DR: It is the first time that natural prey has been identified in O. vulgaris paralarvae collected from the wild, and such knowledge may be critical to increasing the survival of O. Vulgaris hatchlings in captivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological assessment of the Octopus vulgaris species-complex evaluated in light of molecular-based phylogenetic inferences
Michael D. Amor,Michael D. Amor,Mark D. Norman,Álvaro Roura,Tatiana S. Leite,Ian G. Gleadall,Amanda Reid,C. Perales-Raya,C. C. Lu,C. C. Lu,Colin J. Silvey,Erica A. G. Vidal,F. G. Hochberg,Xiaodong Zheng,Jan M. Strugnell +14 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that multiple O vulgaris‐like species are currently being incorrectly treated under a single species name, O. vulgaris, is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life strategies of cephalopod paralarvae in a coastal upwelling system (NW Iberian Peninsula): insights from zooplankton community and spatio‐temporal analyses
Álvaro Roura,Álvaro Roura,X. Antón Álvarez-Salgado,Ángel F. González,Maria Gregori,Gabriel Rosón,Jaime Otero,Ángel Guerra +7 more
TL;DR: The early life stages of cephalopods - octopods, squids, sepiolids and ommastrephids -are uncommon in zooplankton samples and little is known about their life strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet Composition and Variability of Wild Octopus vulgaris and Alloteuthis media (Cephalopoda) Paralarvae: a Metagenomic Approach.
Lorena Olmos-Pérez,Álvaro Roura,Álvaro Roura,Graham J. Pierce,Graham J. Pierce,Stephane Boyer,Ángel F. González +6 more
TL;DR: The results provide new clues about dietary preferences of wild cephalopod paralarvae, thus opening up new scenarios for research on trophic ecology and digestive physiology under controlled conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and genetic evidence that Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797 inhabits Amsterdam and Saint Paul Islands (southern Indian Ocean)
Ángel Guerra,Álvaro Roura,Ángel F. González,Santiago Pascual,Yves Cherel,Marcos Pérez-Losada +5 more
TL;DR: The coastal octopus at Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands is Octopus vulgaris Cuvier 1797, and the range of the species is expanded to include the oceanic islands of the central southern Indian Ocean.
