Hatching size has been considered of great importance in the evolution of externally shelled cephalopods. However, our knowledge of how hatching size varies in response to biotic and abiotic factors is largely lacking. We present a comprehensive overview of hatching size in all known species of modern nautilids (225 specimens, representing eight sp...

... whorl width at the point of hatching is plotted against the whorl width at maturity in Figure 4B. There is no correlation within a species/geographic population except for A. scrobiculatus and N. macromphalus (Table 3). In comparing all species/geographical populations, the whorl width at the point of hatching and maturity is correlated (Table 3). ...

Acoustic communication, broadly distributed along the vertebrate phylogeny, plays a fundamental role in parental care, mate attraction and various other behaviours. Despite its importance, comparatively less is known about the evolutionary roots of acoustic communication. Phylogenetic comparative analyses can provide insights into the deep time evo...
