Over the past 500 million years, nearly all evolutionary changes in octopuses and squids occurred in rapid bursts during the emergence of new species, according to research from the University of ...
Nautiloids—a lineage of ancient, externally-shelled cephalopods that diverged from their octopus and squid relatives over 400 million years ago—once dominated our oceans. Today, this living fossil is ...
In a study now published in iScience, researchers from the University of Vienna (Austria), National Institute of Technology - Wakayama College (NITW; Japan), and Shimane University (Japan) present the ...
Cephalopods comprise one of the most morphologically and ecologically diverse classes of mollusks, tracing their origins to the Late Cambrian. Extant lineages fall into two principal groups: ...

The Vampire Squid Genome Has Helped Explain the Early Evolution of the Cephalopods — Here’s How
According to a new study in iScience, researchers have now sequenced the largest cephalopod genome in history. Generating the genome of the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis sp.) and comparing it to the ...
Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish may have evolved large brains because of the challenges posed by their environments rather than the demands of social life, according to a new study published in ...

Octopus Brains Defy a Long-Held Rule About Why Animals Evolve Intelligence
(Eric VOLTO/500px/Getty Images) Biologists have long believed that having a large brain, relative to your body, might go hand-in-hand with being part of a particularly social species. This is called ...
