"We see this difference between the octopus and squid as reflecting an evolutionary timeline and adaptation, where we see transition from neurotransmission in acetylcholine receptors to soluble bitter ...

Watch rare footage of deep sea "octopus squid" reveal its bioluminescent photophores as it attacks an underwater camera. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

People have different tastes. It turns out that octopuses, squid and cuttlefish do too. These soft-bodied cephalopods have proteins on suckers along their tentacles that allow them to “taste” by ...

Squid, octopus, and cuttlefish -- even to scientists who study them -- are wonderfully weird creatures. Known as the soft-bodied or coleoid cephalopods, they have the largest nervous system of any ...

Research has traced the evolutionary adaptations of octopus and squid sensing capabilities. The researchers describe for the first time the structure of an octopus chemotactile receptor, which octopus ...

Scientists have sequenced the genome of the elusive “vampire squid from hell” for the first time, providing insights into the origin of cephalopods like octopuses. It’s the largest cephalopod genome ...

Octopuses and squids are like the misfit cousins of the sea that everyone confuses at family reunions, but once you know what to look for, the differences are pretty obvious. Both are cephalopods that ...

Researchers have identified what they consider the oldest octopus ancestor – it lived more than 320 million years ago – and they named it after President Joe Biden. The fossilized remains of the ...

Cephalopods have been breaking the rules with their genomes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Squid, octopus and cuttlefish have ...

Many writers grouse when an editor makes a change in a story, but the consequences of changing a single word usually aren’t that dire. Not so with genetic instructions for making proteins. Even a ...
