| Abstract (English): | Making an ethogram, a repertoire of the behavior of a species or several related ones, is obviously an important foundation for any theoretical studies of their behavior. In addition, it is useful for conservation, and evolution, and as a basis for good care in captivity. But such a thorough description is neither easy nor quick. This account takes the reader on the author's journey through lab and field work on seven species and to the struggle to publish results that make up an ethogram of octopuses in the family Octopodidae.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La elaboración de un etograma, un repertorio del comportamiento de una especie o de varias especies afines, es obviamente una base importante para cualquier estudio teórico de su comportamiento. Además, es útil para la conservación y la evolución, y como base para un buen cuidado en cautiverio. Pero una descripción tan exhaustiva no es ni fácil ni rápida.Este relato lleva al lector al viaje del autor a través del trabajo de laboratorio y de campo con siete especies y a la lucha por publicar los resultados que conforman un etograma de pulpos de la familia Octopodidae.

| Abstract (Japanese): | ある種や近縁種の行動の目録であるエトグラムを作成することは、その種の行動を理論的に研究するうえで明らかに重 要な基礎である。さらに、保全や進化の研究に役立ち、飼育下での適切な管理の基礎としても有用である。しかし、こ のような綿密な分析は容易ではなく、時間もかかるものである。この記録は、著者が7 種類のマダコ科のタコについて 、研究室とフィールドで研究を行い、エトグラムをまとめて結果を出版するまでの苦闘の道のりを、読者に伝えるもの である。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
