Octopus Biology and Ecology describes important aspects of the lives of these fascinating animals,
including their origin, biogeography, life history, distribution, behavior, migratory patterns, diet,
predators, and parasites. The emphasis is on species in highly variable coastal environments and includes
a discussion of the potential threats and unexpected benefits of our changing climate and oceans.
Detailed accounts, with many wonderful images in color, are provided for each of the 21 species selected
from around the world, each of which is described by local experts. The final chapter provides a detailed
breakdown of research on octopuses and the topic areas in which this field is likely to expand in the
future, recognizing in particular the growing importance of research into the effects of global changes. As
well as climate change, key areas covered include behavior and cognition, ecology and citizen science,
bio-robotics, deep-sea research, and culture and welfare.
Octopus Biology and Ecology is a veritable mine of information for professional marine biologists and
students alike. Octopuses are rapidly becoming a more widely exploited source of protein for human
consumption, so it is important that information about their biology and ecology is available to help
ensure that their exploitation will be sustainable. This book is therefore essential reading for fishery and
aquaculture scientists, conservationists, and resource managers.
