Cuttlefish change color by manipulating millions of pigment cells, called chromatophores, which act like color pixels in a ...

Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish carry one of the most unusual genomes in the animal kingdom, and a team at the University of ...

A comparative genome study and squid embryo experiment explore how folded DNA may shape cephalopod gene regulation.

The world’s first genetically modified pygmy cuttlefish whose body emits light (fluorescence) has been created. Researchers ...

Marine biologist Alex Schnell has spent her career probing the inner lives of cephalopods, and what she has found in those ...

Cuttlefish, with their blimp-shaped bodies and eight squiggly arms, don’t age like people do. Sexual maturity tends to come late for them—about three-quarters of the way through their two-year lives, ...

Can you remember what you had for dinner last weekend? That ability is a function of episodic memory, and how well we can recall the time and place of specific events typically declines with age.

Cuttlefish can remember what, where, and when specific events happened—right up to their last few days of life, researchers have found. The results, published this week in the journal Proceedings of ...

Duke biologist Sarah Zylinski wants to better understand how cuttlefish see the world. Like their relatives octopus and squid, cuttlefish are master camouflagers—and Zylinski says you can learn ...

While cuttlefish wearing glasses is an unexpected sight, a University of Minnesota-led research team built an underwater theater and equipped the cephalopods with specialized 3-D glasses to ...
