Octopus, squid, and cuttlefish aid marine food webs and carbon storage, revealing how climate change reshapes oceans and ...

Cephalopods such as octopus and squid evolutionarily diverged from mollusks like slugs and snails. These animals have elaborate compact nervous systems located within specialized arm appendages, which ...

People have different tastes. It turns out that octopuses, squid and cuttlefish do too. These soft-bodied cephalopods have proteins on suckers along their tentacles that allow them to “taste” by ...

Research has traced the evolutionary adaptations of octopus and squid sensing capabilities. The researchers describe for the first time the structure of an octopus chemotactile receptor, which octopus ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna (Austria), National Institute of Technology—Wakayama College (NITW; Japan), and Shimane University (Japan) present the largest cephalopod genome sequenced to ...

According to a new study in iScience, researchers have now sequenced the largest cephalopod genome in history. Generating the genome of the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis sp.) and comparing it to the ...

Octopuses and squids carry the largest nervous systems of any invertebrate, and roughly two-thirds of an octopus’s neurons ...

Squid, cuttlefish, octopus and other cephalopods will now be included within the regulatory definition of shellfish.
