Hydrothermal Vent Octopod Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis. Journal of Morphology, 271(8),
845-850. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.10842
• This research provides a detailed examination of the sperm ultrastructure of
Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis
• Highlights the unique features of the spermatozoa, including its unusually short head
and distinctive acrosome with a helical structure.
• Offers insights into the evolutionary relationships within Octopoda, emphasizing a
close phylogenetic link to Enteroctopus dofleini.
• Utilizes advanced transmission electron microscopy for ultrastructural analysis.
• Contributes significantly to the understanding of reproductive biology and taxonomy in
cephalopods.

on Bathypelagic Amphipods of Halice hesmonectes. Journal of the Marine Biological
Association of the United Kingdom, 85, 985-988. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025315405011999
• This study provides an intriguing observation of the feeding behavior of Vulcanoctopus
hydrothermalis in its natural habitat, hydrothermal vents.
• The research documents the octopuses' predation on swarms of the bathypelagic
amphipod, Halice hesmonectes.
• Utilizes HOV Alvin for direct observation and video documentation at a depth of 2620
meters.
• The paper notes the unique interaction between the octopuses and their prey,
highlighting the density of the amphipod swarms as a significant factor in the
octopuses' feeding strategy.
• Adds valuable insight into the ecological dynamics of hydrothermal vent communities,
particularly the feeding strategies of deep-sea cephalopods.

Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 88(2), 375-379. https://doi.org/10.1017/
S0025315408000647
• This study presents the first detailed description of a female Vulcanoctopus
hydrothermalis
• Notable findings include the absence of spermathecae and apical filaments in oocytes,
suggesting unique reproductive adaptations.
• The specimen, collected at a depth of 2832 meters using the HOV Nautile, provides
valuable data for understanding the species' morphology and reproductive biology.
• This paper expands knowledge on deep-sea cephalopods, particularly in the context of
hydrothermal vent ecosystems.
• The research is significant for its contribution to cephalopod taxonomy and for
understanding the ecological adaptations of deep-sea species.4.López-González, P.J., Bresciani, J., Huys, R., González, A.F., Guerra, A., & Pascual, S.

on a Hydrothermal Vent Octopod and a Reinterpretation of the Life Cycle of Cholidyinid
Harpacticoids. Cah. Biol. Mar., 41(3), 241-253. https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/26332
• This paper describes a new genus and species, Genesis vulcanoctopusi, a copepod
parasite found on the hydrothermal vent octopod, Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis.
• It provides a comprehensive description of the parasite's morphology and
developmental stages, using specimens collected from the East Pacific Rise.
• The study contributes to the understanding of the life cycle of Cholidyinid
Harpacticoids, suggesting a complex endoparasitic and ectoparasitic life cycle.
• The paper also discusses the host-parasite relationship, including the pathological
effects of the parasite on its octopod host.
• This research is significant for its contribution to marine biology, particularly in the
study of deep-sea symbiotic relationships.

• This paper explores the molecular phylogenetic relationships of Vulcanoctopus
hydrothermalis and a newly discovered hydrothermal vent octopus species.
• It employs mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences to analyze evolutionary
relationships within the Octopodidae family.
• The study provides an amended diagnosis of the genus Benthoctopus and reinterprets
its phylogenetic positioning, suggesting a close relation to Vulcanoctopus
hydrothermalis.
• The research is pivotal in understanding the genetic diversity and evolutionary history
of deep-sea octopods, particularly those inhabiting hydrot TonyZhiyuanWang (talk) 15:45, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
