Cephalopod dynamic camouflage [PDF]

open access: bronzeCurrent Biology, 2007
Everyone knows what camouflage is and how it works. And many people (some scientists included) think chameleons are the masters of color change. Wrong on both counts. In this primer, I provide an overview of recent work on the mechanisms and principles of rapid adaptive camouflage of cephalopods — octopus, cuttlefish and squids.

Cephalopod-omics: Emerging Fields and Technologies in Cephalopod Biology [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative And Comparative Biology, 2023
Synopsis Few animal groups can claim the level of wonder that cephalopods instill in the minds of researchers and the general public. Much of cephalopod biology, however, remains unexplored: the largest invertebrate brain, difficult husbandry conditions, and complex (meta-)genomes, among many other things, have hindered progress in ...

Cephalopod behaviour

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2023
Underlying all animal behaviors, from the simplest reflexive reactions to the more complex cognitive reasoning and social interaction, are nervous systems uniquely adapted to bodies, environments, and challenges of different animal species. Coleoid cephalopods - octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish - are widely recognized as the most behaviorally complex ...

Cephalopod cognition [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2019
Cephalopods have captivated the minds of scientists for thousands of years, dating back to approximately 330 BC when Aristotle became fascinated by their ability to rapidly change colour. This remarkable ability, however, is not the only aspect of cephalopod behaviour that has garnered attention from the scientific community.

Disentangling global market drivers for cephalopods to foster transformations towards sustainable seafood systems

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2023
Aquatic food systems are important contributors to global food security to satisfy an intensifying demand for protein‐based diets, but global economic growth threatens marine systems. Cephalopod (octopus, squid and cuttlefish) fisheries can contribute to

Global Patterns of Coastal Cephalopod Diversity Under Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Coastal marine ecosystems are currently being exposed to climate change at a much faster rate than many other ecosystems, with coastal species being exposed to multiple stressors.

Development of the cephalopod-specific universal primer set and its application for the metabarcoding analysis of planktonic cephalopods in Korean waters [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Although spatiotemporal analysis of the cephalopod larvae provides the useful information for the effective management of their resources, it has been difficult mainly due to their low numbers in the mixed zooplankton net samples and difficulty in ...

Genetic mechanisms involved in the evolution of the cephalopod camera eye revealed by transcriptomic and developmental studies

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Coleoid cephalopods (squids and octopuses) have evolved a camera eye, the structure of which is very similar to that found in vertebrates and which is considered a classic example of convergent evolution.

Host phylogeny, habitat, and diet are main drivers of the cephalopod and mollusk gut microbiome

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2022
Background Invertebrates are a very attractive subject for studying host-microbe interactions because of their simple gut microbial community and host diversity.
