(2013) showed that mitochondrial DNA lacks phylogenetic structure and that nucleotide diversity is exceptionally low, suggesting either a recent population expansion or a selective sweep. These observations are consistent with the existence of a single species of giant squid, Architeuthis dux Steenstrup, 1857, and suggest that it is highly vagile, possibly dispersing through both a drifting larval stage and migration of larger individuals.
