Bibliography[edit]

Barord, Gregory Jeff, and P. Boyle. "Cephalopods." Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, edited by J. Kirk Cochran, et al., Elsevier Science & Technology, 3rd edition, 2019.

  • This source includes a lot of general information about ocean cephalopods including biology, life cycle, and ecology/role in ocean ecosystems. It also includes a section that breaks down the class of cephalopoda into orders. I am planning on using the general information in this article mostly to fill content gaps about taxonomy and morphology, although I will also draw on some information for the behavior section I will be adding.

Barratt, I. & Allcock, L. 2014. Histioteuthis heteropsis. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2014: e.T162925A953880. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2014-1.RLTS.T162925A953880.en. Downloaded on 27 July 2020.

  • This page includes specific information regarding the range, population, and conservation status of H. heteropsis. It states that there are no species-specific conservation efforts in place, but that more research needs to be done. I plan on using this source to address the content gaps of habitat and conservation status.

  • This article contains information about ink-releasing behaviors in different species of squids. The study concludes that while ink-release type and behavior were variable, H. heteropsis most commonly released pseudomorphs, followed by a jet escape. I plan on using this article to fill the content gap regarding behavior.

Laptikhovsky, Vladimir V.. “First data on ovary maturation and fecundity in the squid family Histioteuthidae.” (2001).

  • This study includes information about the reproductive biology of the family Histioteuthidae. The study concludes that during maturation, female squids of the family Histioteuthidae undergo intensive oocyte resorption, more so than any other  squid family. I plan to use this information to fill the content gap of reproductive morphology under the “description” section I will add.

Roper, Clyde FE, and Richard E. Young. "Vertical distribution of pelagic cephalopods." Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology (1975).

  • This source includes information about the depth range of H. heteropsis as well as what percent of the population is at each ocean depth interval. The study concludes that during the day, most squid were found around 600 meters of depth while during the night most were found around 400 meters. I plan on using this information for both the habitat and behavior sections of the article.

  • This source includes a very detailed description of the external biology of H. heteropsis. Information regarding arms, eyes, photophores, tentacles, fins, and genitalia is given, along with drawings. I plan on using this information in the “description” section of the article.

Voss, Nancy A., and M. J. Sweeney. "Systematics and biogeography of cephalopods. Volume II." Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology (1998).

  • This source describes the horizontal distribution of many squid species, including H. heteropsis. The study suggests that H. heteropsis are mostly restricted to the California current and the Peru-Chile current. There is also no evidence of migration in the species. I will use this information for the “habitat” and “behavior” sections that I am going to add.

Young, Richard Edward. "Oceanic bioluminescence: an overview of general functions." Bulletin of Marine Science 33.4 (1983): 829-845.

  • This article contains general information about the functions of photophores in deep sea and open ocean animals. The research suggests that the high concentration of photophores on histioteuthids is for flashes. I will use this information in the “behavior” section of the article.
