The evolution of predator avoidance in cephalopods: A case of brain over brawn?

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Predation is a major evolutionary driver of animal adaptation. However, understanding of anti-predator evolution is biased toward vertebrate taxa.

Assessing Cephalopods Fisheries in the Strait of Sicily by Using Poor Data Modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Cephalopods, including octopuses, squids, and cuttlefishes, are exploited by both bottom trawl and small-scale fisheries (SSF) in most of the Mediterranean areas.

Extensive Recoding of the Neural Proteome in Cephalopods by RNA Editing

open access: yesAnnual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2023
The coleoid cephalopods have the largest brains, and display the most complex behaviors, of all invertebrates. The molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie these remarkable advancements remain largely unexplored. Early molecular cloning studies of

Vertical Distribution Patterns of Cephalopods in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Cephalopods are important in midwater ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) as both predator and prey. Vertical distribution and migration patterns (both diel and ontogenic) are not known for the majority of deep-water cephalopods.

Trade-off between Transcriptome Plasticity and Genome Evolution in Cephalopods

open access: yesCell, 2017
Summary RNA editing, a post-transcriptional process, allows the diversification of proteomes beyond the genomic blueprint; however it is infrequently used among animals.

The ecological role of cephalopods and their representation in ecosystem models

open access: yesReviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2019
Cephalopods, especially squids, are believed to have a structuring role in marine ecosystems as a link between different trophic levels, primarily due to their voracious prey consumption and high production rate.

Evaluation of Candidates for Systemic Analgesia and General Anesthesia in the Emerging Model Cephalopod, Euprymna berryi

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Cephalopods’ remarkable behavior and complex neurobiology make them valuable comparative model organisms, but studies aimed at enhancing welfare of captive cephalopods remain uncommon.

RNA recoding in cephalopods tailors microtubule motor protein function

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
RNA editing is a widespread epigenetic process that can alter the amino acid sequence of proteins, termed ‘recoding’. In cephalopods, recoding occurs in most proteins and is hypothesized to be an adaptive strategy to generate phenotypic plasticity ...

Molecular characterization of cell types in the squid Loligo vulgaris

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Cephalopods are set apart from other mollusks by their advanced behavioral abilities and the complexity of their nervous systems. Because of the great evolutionary distance that separates vertebrates from cephalopods, it is evident that higher cognitive ...

The Case for Octopus Consciousness: Unity

open access: yesNeuroSci, 2021
Birch et al. suggest that consciousness in any animal group must involve four aspects—perceptual richness, evaluative richness (affectivity), integration at one time (unity), and integration across time (temporality).
