The CIAC website’s main purpose is to keep the cephalopod research community connected between meetings by providing a platform for current news and information. The community also keeps in contact through the FASTMOLL email distribution list, to which you can subscribe here, and the CIAC Facebook page.
Many other external websites host excellent repositories of information about specific aspects of cephalopod biology. We recommend the following sources:
European COST Action FA1301 on cephalopod welfare: CephsInAction
The Smithsonian Cephalopod Bibliography is a searchable database of cephalopod references.
There is also a Mendeley group for cephalopod researchers and references, and a CiteULike group for cephalopod research.
