| Abstract/Notes | This book is a first attempt to examine much information not available to Naef that throws new light on the evolution of coleoids. It is incomplete in that only the features, system, and groups that have been examined by the volume authors are included. For completeness, evolutions of a few other structures (e.g., chromatophores) or groups (e.g., Loliginidae and Sepiidae) could have been included but were not available for a variety of reasons. Much of the information on coleoids has not been published previously or has not been previously considered from an evolutionary standpoint. Thus, this volume is essentially different from the other books in this treatise, which are reviews of published work. This volume starts with a broad review of the evolution of fossil remains, the presents new data, new methods, new analysis, and provocative views that we hope will stimulate further work and discussion on coleoid evolution. |
