On the morphometric relationship between beaks and body size in Histioteuthis bonnellii (Férussac, 1835) / Mereu, M; Cau, Alessandro; Porcu, C; Cuccu, D.. - In: BIOLOGIA MARINA MEDITERRANEA. - ISSN 1123-4245. - 18:1(2011), pp. 144-145.
abstract:
Six measurements of 109 beaks (59 males and 50 females) of Histioteuthis bonnellii
(Cephalopoda: Histioteuthidae) caught in the south Sardinian waters were interrelated with the size
(ML) of the specimens. In both sexes, respectively for upper and lower beaks, the lateral wall and the
hood grew faster than other parts (e.g. the rostrum). The analysis of covariance showed different beaks
in the two sexes (p<0.05)
