Camouflage and Exploratory Avoidance of Newborn Cuttlefish under Warming and Acidification

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Ocean warming and acidification have been shown to elicit deleterious effects on cephalopod mollusks, especially during early ontogeny, albeit effects on behavior remain largely unexplored.

Influence of Temperature, Hypercapnia, and Development on the Relative Expression of Different Hemocyanin Isoforms in the Common Cuttlefish Sepia officinalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The cuttlefish Sepia officinalis expresses several hemocyanin isoforms with potentially different pH optima, indicating their reliance on efficient pH regulation in the blood.

A Perspective Around Cephalopods and Their Parasites, and Suggestions on How to Increase Knowledge in the Field

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Although interest in several areas of cephalopod research has emerged over the last decades (e.g., neurobiology, aquaculture, genetics, and welfare), especially following their 2010 inclusion in the EU Directive on the use of animals for experimental ...

Sensorial Hierarchy in Octopus vulgaris’s Food Choice: Chemical vs. Visual

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Octopus vulgaris possesses highly sophisticated sense organs, processed by the nervous system to generate appropriate behaviours such as finding food, avoiding predators, identifying conspecifics, and locating suitable habitat.

Acoustically evoked potentials in two cephalopods inferred using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
It is still a matter of debate whether cephalopods can detect sound frequencies above 400 Hz. So far there is no proof for the detection of underwater sound above 400 Hz via a physiological approach.

Female impersonation as an alternative reproductive strategy in giant cuttlefish [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Out of all the animals, cephalopods possess an unrivalled ability to change their shape and body patterns. Our observations of giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama) suggest this ability has allowed them to evolve alternative mating strategies in which males can

Dynamic mimicry in an Indo-Malayan octopus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
During research dives in Indonesia (Sulawesi and Bali), we filmed a distinctive long-armed octopus, which is new to science. Diving over 24 h periods revealed that the 'mimic octopus' emerges during daylight hours to forage on sand substrates in full ...

Metacestodes of Elasmobranch Tapeworms in Octopus vulgaris (Mollusca, Cephalopoda) from Central Mediterranean—SEM and Molecular Data

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Cephalopods are intermediate/paratenic hosts in the life cycle of elasmobranch tapeworms, nevertheless most records of infection in this group of mollusks are outdated and fragmentary. The present work aimed to investigate the cestode fauna of the common

Cuttlefish color change as an emerging proxy for ecotoxicology

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Lately, behavioral ecotoxicology has flourished because of increasing standardization of analyses of endpoints like movement. However, research tends to focus on a few model species, which limits possibilities of extrapolating and predicting ...
