Bivalve Shell Utilization by Juvenile Octopus vulgaris in Sandy Substrates
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.This study investigates how juvenile Octopus vulgaris adapt to sandy environments with limited shelter and high predation risk by using empty bivalve shells for protection. Through four SCUBA expeditions in NW Spain, nine juveniles were observed using shells that fit their body size, strategically positioning themselves for surveillance and employing ...

Circadian Rhythms of Crawling and Swimming in the Nudibranch Mollusc Melibe leonina [PDF]
, 2014 Daily rhythms of activity driven by circadian clocks are expressed by many organisms, including molluscs. We initiated this study, with the nudibranch Melibe leonina, with four goals in mind: (1) determine which behaviors are expressed with a daily ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 757-769, May 2025.Morphological markers for brain plasticity are still lacking, and their findings are challenged by cortical brain surface variability. To overcome the “correspondence problem,” we used a landmark‐free method (generalized Procrustes surface analysis, GPSA) to investigate cortical surface shape variation in healthy volunteers practicing Quadrato motor ...
