chierchiae octopuses, which could provide huge insights into cephalopod intelligence and behaviors. Wang and her team at UW have studied O. chierchiae for several years and were part of the first ...

Coleoid cephalopods, which include squids, octopuses and cuttlefish, represent a dynamic and diverse group whose palaeontological record provides critical insights into evolution and adaptation in ...

Many view octopus aquaculture as inhumane because of the cephalopod's intelligence. In 2024, Washington and California became the first states to pass bans with similar legislation being ...

Historically, cephalopod intelligence has been eclipsed by octopuses’ more alien traits: they bleed blue blood, have beaks, three beating hearts and eight arms. But Schnell’s research adds ...

According to new research, this cephalopod has a trick hidden up its tentacles — or rather, its large brain. It reveals one surprising aspect of this creature's intelligence: self-control.

This discovery suggests that cuttlefish use visual and vibrational signals to interact, expanding our understanding of cephalopod intelligence. Researchers studied common cuttlefish (Sepia ...

The cephalopods resisted eating a piece of prawn for as long as two minutes to earn an even better snack (a live shrimp). Unlike humans — whose intelligence is, as it were, all in their heads ...
