- 1Scientists create first transgenic cuttlefish after years of effort▼The first transgenic cuttlefish: a milestone in biology after 6 years of effort and 4,000 failed embryos
Researchers have produced the first transgenic cuttlefish, a landmark in marine biology achieved after six years of work and roughly 4,000 failed embryos. The result opens new possibilities for studying cephalopod genetics and development, as cuttlefish have long resisted genetic modification techniques that work in other animals.
- 2Octopuses pass the mirror test, raising questions about intelligence●How smart are octopuses? Smart enough to use mirror. https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.pops ci.com/environment/how-smar
A Popular Science report examines how smart octopuses really are, focusing on their ability to respond to mirrors. The piece explores what mirror behaviour reveals about cephalopod cognition and self-awareness, adding to ongoing research suggesting octopuses are among the most intelligent invertebrates, capable of problem-solving and complex behaviours.
