Ontogenetic Variation and Sexual Dimorphism of Beaks among Four Cephalopod Species Based on Geometric Morphometrics

Investigating the ontogenetic variation of biological individuals helps us to fully understand the characteristics of evolution. In order to explore the ontogenetic variation and sexual dimorphism of the beak shape in <i>Octopus minor</i>, <i>Uroteuthis edulis</i>, <i>S...
