Genetic correlations have strong implications for species coexistence and their evolution. Studies addressing this issue generally tackle traits associated with competition for food and those underlying reproductive interference separately, whereas it is clear that the interaction among these is key to understand the ecology and evolution of closely ...

Grow Smart and Die Young: Why Did Cephalopods Evolve Intelligence?
Intelligence in large-brained vertebrates might have evolved through independent, yet similar processes based on comparable socioecological pressures and slow life histories.

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Ovarian atresia in cephalopods
Ovarian atresia is described for the first time in cephalopods. Detailed histological examination of ovaries of Loligo vulgaris reynaudii in various stages of maturity revealed atresia in primary, previtellogenic and vitellogenicoocytes.

Towards an Integrated Study of Camouflage and Cognition in Cephalopods
The coleoid cephalopods (i.e., octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) are notable for their complex cognition and dynamic camouflage, but the two processes have rarely been considered in conjunction.

Abstract To evaluate the aquaculture potential and developmental characteristics of the holobenthic octopus Amphioctopus fangsiao, we conducted artificial breeding and continuous rearing of Amphioctopus fangsiao from hatching to 150 days post‐hatching (dph) under laboratory conditions using broodstock collected from Fujian, China.

Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny
ABSTRACT Vision is a two‐step process, including phototransduction initiated by a retinal‐bound opsin photopigment, and subsequent photopigment regeneration wherein the inactive state is restored. Because retinal isomerization, or changing of the molecular structural conformation, drives the activation of opsin photopigments, the reverse process is a ...

Implementation of the Disease Database for Cephalopods
Cephalopods have been included in the European Directive (EU Directive 63/2010), that rules the use of animals for scientific purposes. Therefore, animals welfare and health should be assured. Considering cephalopods, only few information are available

Biomimetic camouflage inspired by cephalopods
Cephalopods are known as the chameleons of the sea - they can alter their skin's coloration, pattern, texture, and reflectivity to blend into the surrounding environment.
