The Pupillary Response of the Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Cephalopods have very conspicuous eyes that are often compared to fish eyes. However, in contrast to many fish, the eyes of cephalopods possess mobile pupils. To increase the knowledge of pupillary and thus visual function in cephalopods, the dynamics of

Sex-specific bacterial microbiome variation in octopus vulgaris skin [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Growing knowledge of the host-microbiota of vertebrates has shown the prevalence of sex-specific differences in the microbiome. However, there are virtually no studies assessing sex-associated variation in the microbiome of cephalopods.

Identification and Characterization of a Rhodopsin Kinase Gene in the Suckers of Octopus vulgaris: Looking around Using Arms? [PDF]
Biology, 2021 In their foraging behavior octopuses rely on arm search movements outside the visual field of the eyes. In these movements the environment is explored primarily by the suckers that line the entire length of the octopus arm.

Bipedal locomotion in Octopus vulgaris: A complementary observation and some preliminary considerations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Lacking an external shell and a rigid endoskeleton, octopuses exhibit a remarkable flexibility in their movements. Bipedal locomotion is perhaps the most iconic example in this regard.
