Morphological character evolution and molecular trees in sepiids (Mollusca: Cephalopoda): is the cuttlebone a robust phylogenetic marker?
2006-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The sepiids are characterized by their cuttlebone or sepion, an internal shell resulting from secondary mineralization of a chitinous ‘gladius’. The various species are identified using a combination of shell criteria and ‘soft‐part’ characters. Using mitochondrial genes, we established phylogenetic relationships of sepiids including the three accepted genera (Sepia, Sepiella, Metasepia) and a species complex of u...
