Mysterious Morphology: An Investigation of the Octopus Keel and Its Association with Burrowing
The octopus keel is a trait that has been hypothesized to be connected with burrowing in octopuses, but has never been explored in any detail. We investigated the association between these two traits using two approaches. First, we examined the phylogenetic correlation between the presence of a keel...
