Do larger cephalopods live longer? Effects of temperature and phylogeny on interspecific comparisons of age and size at maturity

The relationship between size and age at maturity in cephalopods is unresolved. The most recent interspecific comparison of size and age of cephalopods contradicts two previous studies by concluding that larger species do not live longer.
