ABSTRACT We report wild octopuses (Octopus tetricus) living at high density at a rock outcrop, the second such site known. O. tetricus are often observed as solitary individuals, with the species known to exist at similar densities and exhibiting complex social behaviors at only one site other than that described here. The present site was occupied by 10–15 octopuses on eight different days. We recorded frequent interactions, signaling, mating, mate defense, eviction of octopuses from dens, and…

An experimental assessment of social tolerance and den ecology in a high-density octopus population

TLDR
Evidence of possible antisocial den use by O. briareus is presented, a modification of the default ‘asocial’ ignoring of conspecifics typically attributed to octopus, likely in response to the high population density and may imply behavioural plasticity.

Octopus engineering, intentional and inadvertent

ABSTRACT We previously published a description of discovery of a site where octopuses live in an unusually dense collection of individual dens near one another in a bed of scallop shells amid a rock…

The trophic interactions of Octopus insularis in the food web of a pristine tropical atoll: a baseline for management and monitoring under environmental changes

In the present study, we evaluated the trophic role of Octopus insularis Leite and Haimovici 2008 in the food web of Rocas Atoll, a preserved insular territory in the Southwest Atlantic. Using stable…

Seasonal occurrence of Japanese pygmy octopus Octopus parvus in the intertidal zone

TLDR
It is found that the octopus inhabits the intertidal zone of the study site from August to January, during which time it appears to move from the high to low intert tidal zone, and subsequently migrates to the subtidal zone.

In the Line of Fire: Debris Throwing by Wild Octopuses

TLDR
Wild octopuses at an Australian site frequently propel shells, silt, and algae through the water by releasing these materials from their arms while creating a forceful jet from the siphon held under the arm web, as suggested by several kinds of evidence.

World Octopus Fisheries

Abstract Recent studies have shown that coastal and shelf cephalopod populations have increased globally over the last six decades. Although cephalopod landings are dominated by the squid fishery,…

TLDR
The ability of ocean and terrestrial animals to relate to one another in ways that are reciprocal, if not equally balanced, and illustrates this with the examples of octopuses is explored.

The sea urchin Diadema africanum uses low resolution vision to find shelter and deter enemies

TLDR
Using a combination of imaging and behavioural experiments, testing visual detection via two photic behaviours, the authors show that the sea urchin Diadema africanum has low resolution vision.

The octopus mind and the argument against farming it

Mather is convincing about octopuses having ‘a controlling mind, motivated to gather information,’ but stops short of asking what having that mind means for octopus moral standing. One consequence of…

Care and Enrichment for Captive Cephalopods

TLDR
Cephalopods’ abilities are far-ranging and must be considered when providing captive care, to not only provide adequate welfare and well-being but to also ensure normal development.

Long-term high-density occupation of a site by Octopus tetricus and possible site modification due to foraging behavior

TLDR
It is hypothesized that long-term occupation of the site has led to its physical modification through the accumulation of shells brought in during foraging, and that this “ecosystem engineering” has in turn resulted in higher densities being viable at the site.

Octopus tetricus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) as an ecosystem engineer

Summary: The Sydney octopus (Octopus tetricus) occurs in unusual numbers on a shell bed of its prey remains that have accumulated as an extended midden where additional octopuses excavate dens. Here,…

Habitat selection and shelter use by Octopus tetricus

TLDR
This study suggests that Octopus telricus are associated with rocky reef habitats during the breeding season, while a considerable portion of their life may be spent in soft-sediment habitats.

Behavior and Body Patterns of the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus

TLDR
The behavior, body color patterns, and postures of 24 adults maintained in captivity of the undescribed Larger Pacific Striped Octopus are described, which remains without a formal description.

Ethogram of Abdopus aculeatus (d'Orbigny, 1834) (Cephalopoda: Octopodidae): can behavioural characters inform octopodid taxomony and systematics?

TLDR
Aspects of the dymantic display, mating system, activity patterns, and habitat use appear similar to those expressed by other members of Abdopus, as well as the large sister taxon Octopus cyanea, suggesting that these behaviours may be conserved throughout the evolution of these octopuses.

Use of shelter by the small Patagonian octopus Octopus tehuelchus: availability, selection and effects on fecundity

Shelters on the sandy bottom area of the Northwest San Matias Gulf (Argentina) consist mostly of shells of invertebrates. Small octopuses Octopus tehuelchus d'orbigny use the shells of gastropods…
