| Abstract |
The purpose of this guide is to help biology students and naturalists to obtain an understanding of the equipment and skills needed to carry out safe and quick dissections of bobtail squids, and other small cephalopods, including juveniles of larger cephalopods. Besides, dissecting bobtail squids is excellent training for those who want to improve their microdissection skills for whatever purpose. The text and photo illustrations (107) provide step-by-step advice on how to remove organs from the head and the body, and how to dissect and analyze them. The text describes some basic biology of bobtail squids together with some exercises and research areas suitable for dissection-dependent studies. |
