CephsInAction: Towards Future Challenges for Cephalopod Science
The last five years have been extremely challenging, but also very innovative for cephalopod science, and the outstanding tradition of biological contribution with cephalopod molluscs as key players in science and human activities and interests has continued. This Research Topic is one of several dedicated to cephalopod molluscs (e.g., Hanke and Osorio, 2018; Ponte et al., 2018) hosted by Frontiers over the last few years, not to mention other papers published separately. Highlighting of cephalopod science is important because it has much to offer not only the life science community, but also more broadly the public perception of science and its understanding and relationship with scientific...
Handbook of Pathogens and Diseases in Cephalopods
The aim of this open access book is to facilitate the identification and description of the different organs as well as pathogens and diseases affecting the most representative species of cephalopods focussed on Sepia officinalis, Loligo vulgaris and Octopus vulgaris. These species are valuable ‘morphotype’ models and belong to the taxonomic groups Sepioidea, Myopsida and Octopoda, which include most of the species with a high market value and aquaculture potential. The study is based on photographs at macroscopic and histological level in order to illustrate the role of the most important pathogens and related diseases from the view of a pathological diagnosis. The reader is able to fam...
Octopuses, Squid & Cuttlefish
Humans everywhere have always been fascinated by octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish, known biologically as cephalopods. They evolved hundreds of millions of years ago and are related to molluscs such as mussels and snails. They can grow to an enormous size with eyes as big as footballs, but they still live for only a couple of years. They mate once in their lifetime and die shortly after. They have blue blood and three hearts and they can shoot out jet-black ink. They have a brain and have behaviours that could be interpreted as signs of intelligence, even though more than half of their brain is distributed in their arms. They are colour blind, but they can change the colour of their skin in a...
Blæksprutterne kommer. Spis dem!
Denne bog sætter blæksprutterne på spisekortet og giver samtidig en beskrivelse af deres biologi, kulturhistorie og en forklaring på, hvad der gør blæksprutter til sund, varierende og interessant mad. Med en lang række enkle opskrifter på tilberedning af blæksprutter afmystificerer bogen den påstand, at det er svært at lave mad med blæksprutter. Samtidig bidrager den til debatten om, hvordan vi bedre udnytter havets ressourcer på en bæredygtig måde. Bogen er skrevet ud fra et samarbejde mellem en kok og en naturvidenskabsmand, som sammen er gået i køkkenet for at lave mad med blæksprutter.
The Venetian Discovery of America
Demonstrates how Venetian newsmongers played a crucial yet heretofore unrecognized role in the invention of America.
Commentary and Ideology
Dante's Divine Comedy played a dual role in its relation to Italian Renaissance culture, actively shaping the fabric of that culture and, at the same time, being shaped by it. This productive relationship is examined in Commentary and Ideology, Deborah Parker's thorough compendium on the reception of Dante's chief work. By studying the social and historical circumstances under which commentaries on Dante were produced, the author clarifies the critical tradition of commentary and explains the ways in which this important body of material can be used in interpreting Dante's poem. Parker begins by tracing the criticism of Dante commentaries from the nineteenth century to the present and then e...
