To build their visual dictionary, the researchers examined two hours of video footage each of 25 wild octopuses in a variety ...

Octopuses are ambidextrous, a new study finds, but they favor their front arms for investigating surroundings and their back arms for locomotion.

Octopus arms are one of the most flexible structures known in all of the biological world. Their agility is so extraordinary ...

Clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) execute endosomal-lysosomal sorting of proteins as well as receptor-mediated endocytosis (Fig. 1). The coat is formed by clathrin triskelia, which assemble into a ...

In a 2024 study, scientists taped red flags taped to crickets’ hind legs to imitate the matador bugs and see how predatory ...

While spiders may be scary to interact with, they have many unique behaviors that can make them fun to learn about! Because spiders are so tiny, it may be hard to observe these interesting behaviors ...

Richard O. Prum is in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and at the Peabody Museum, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06511, USA. Read the paper: Triassic diapsid shows early ...

Scientists found parallels between the neural circuitry that guides locomotion in sea slugs and in more complex animals like mammals. Hundreds of millions of years before the evolution of animals with ...

Scientists studied how the sea creatures, also known as chimaeras or ghost sharks, ended up with one of evolution’s most ...

A new hypothesis concerning the evolutionary origin of pentameral symmetry in echinoderms is presented. The BA-A-BA pattern of Loven's law in echinoids and the 2-1-2 symmetry of the edrioasteroid ...

Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute used remotely operated vehicles to find three new species of ...
