Cephalopods in the Anthropocene: Multiple Challenges in a Changing Ocean

The “Anthropocene” was announced to describe the new geological epoch driven by humankind. Overfishing, pollution, and climate change are some of the unquestionable human-driven threats to ocean biodiversity. Under this context, and within the notion of winners and losers of global change, there is some evidence that cephalopod populations are benefiting from this changing ocean. This Research Topic aims to compile the latest advances on cephalopod research, covering a wide range of disciplines, and encompassing different levels of biological organization (from molecules to populations).

Authors who made a contribution to the CIAC 2022 conference (Sesimbra, Portugal, April 2022), as an oral presentation or a poster, are especially encouraged to submit their findings but this initiative is open to all researchers. Original Research and Review manuscripts within the scope of the different general sessions (i.e. Behaviour, Systematics, Biodiversity and Biogeography, Life History and Ecology, Genetics and Evolution, Fisheries, Biochemistry and Physiology, and Culture and Welfare) will be considered.
