“…Likewise, the potential for paternal effects on offspring should also be investigated, as this is known to be an influential factor in other animal groups (for review, see Rando, 2012 ) but, to our knowledge, has not yet been investigated in cephalopods. Finally, reproduction in cephalopods is further complicated by the existence of polyandry (e.g., Naud et al, 2005 ; Squires et al, 2012 , 2014 ; Morse et al, 2018 ), sperm competition (e.g., Hanlon et al, 1999 ; Wada et al, 2005 ) and multiple male mating strategies that exist in several species of cephalopods ( Hanlon et al, 2005 ; Iwata et al, 2011 ). A better understanding of these dynamics could potentially enable higher fertilization rates and reduce the number of injuries related to male-male competition for females.…”
