For years, scientists have been fascinated by the way octopuses move — fluid, flexible and without the limitations of bones. But observing these complex motions in the extreme conditions of the deep ...

MBARI researchers have developed an innovative imaging system that can be deployed at great depths underwater to study the movement of marine life. The team used the system to study deep-sea octopus ...

Just four different movements make up the 12 distinct arm motions that wild octopuses utilize to achieve complex tasks, like probing rocks for food. Research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL ...

The study is the first to relate arm movements in octopuses in the wild to whole animal behaviors in complex, real-world settings. Octopuses are among the most neurologically complex invertebrates, ...

In a rare study, researchers observed that each of the eight octopus arms can perform all action types, highlighting adaptability. Researchers identified unique arm specialisations and behaviour ...

Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have developed a new deep-sea camera system that captures their clearest look at octopus movement in the ocean’s darkest depths. New ...

A new report has revealed that a dramatic population bloom of the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) off the South West coast ...
