“…Thirdly, studies of cephalopod growth are required, that will combine a theoretical ecology approach (suffering at the moment from an assumption of non-overlapping generation cycles) (Turchin, 2003), a wealth of matrix models (Quinn & Deriso, 1999), and a solid physiological basis (which is lacking at the moment). It is to be hoped that the state of the art, presently fragmented into these three areas (Arkhipkin & Roa-Ureta, 2005; André et al , 2009; Keyl et al , 2011; Semmens et al , 2011; Zavala et al , 2012), will improve in the future.…”
