Cephalopod beak sections used to trace mercury levels throughout the life of cephalopods: the Giant Warty squid Moroteuthopsis longimana as a case study
International audience Cephalopods represent an important pathway for mercury transfer through food-webs. Due to the general difficulties in capturing oceanic squid, beaks found in the diet of top predators can be used to study their life-cycles and ecological role. Using upper beaks of the giant wa...
