Computational fluid dynamics can be used to study how extinct animals used to swim. Scientists studied 65 million-year-old cephalopod fossils to gain deeper understanding of modern-day cephalopod ...

We wish could ask cephalopod scientists questions for eight days straight, but the next best thing is an hour-long reddit AMA. From SailboatAB: When I read about cephalopod intelligence, it’s always ...

Cephalopods, including octopuses, cuttlefish and squid, possess some of the most elaborate nervous systems and behavioural repertoires among invertebrates. Their large central brain, organised into ...

A new study from the University of Santiago de Compostela utilizes the IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) to identify how international policy can ...

A cute observation in the cephalopods' behavior indicates they also react to sound waves, a notion that will soon be tested with a machine learning approach. Reading time 3 minutes Researchers just ...

Researchers have sequenced and annotated the first cephalopod genome, the California two-spot octopus. They found widespread rearrangements of genes and a dramatic expansion of a family of genes ...

We named him Squirt – not because he was the smallest of the 16 cuttlefish in the pool, but because anyone with the audacity to scoop him into a separate tank to study him was likely to get soaked.

Octopus, squid, and cuttlefish are famous for engaging in complex behavior, from unlocking an aquarium tank and escaping to instantaneous skin camouflage to hide from predators. A new study suggests ...
