Over a month after mating, Giant Pacific octopuses lay eggs. The species can lay 180,000 eggs in a single clutch, while Octopus rubescens clutches number up to 45,000 eggs and O. vulgaris clutches can number as much as 500,000 eggs. [78]: 75 Fertilised octopus eggs are layed as strings and within a shelter.
Octopus tetricus, the gloomy octopus, the common Sydney octopus, [3] or the peachy octopus, [4] is a species of octopus from the subtropical waters of eastern Australia and northern New Zealand. [2] O. tetricus belongs to the Octopus vulgaris species group. All species within the O. vulgaris group are similar in morphology, [5] behaviour, and ...
View of Amazon basin forest north of Manaus, Brazil. The term “biotic pump” infers a circulation system driven by biological processes. This concept shows forests as being the major factors in manipulating atmospheric processes to cycle rainfall taken up by trees throughout all continents and back to the atmosphere for further cycling.

Marine scientists discovered what they dubbed an 'octopus garden' nearly two miles below sea level. 'We were just absolutely floored.' Just off California, octopuses are converging by the thousands.
The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. [2] The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment.
Macroctopus maorum is a large octopus and it is regularly described as a ‘robust’ species, it is a member of the Octopus macropus species complex. The morphological traits characteristic of this complex are a high number of gill lamellae, a robust conical copulatory organ and arms of varying length with long unequal dorsal arms generally four to six times longer than the mantle.
Researchers have documented an active octopus nursery, where hundreds of the deep-sea creatures cluster together to brood their eggs. Rare octopus discovery made 2 miles below the ocean surface ...
Desert ecology is the study of interactions between both biotic and abiotic components of desert environments. A desert ecosystem is defined by interactions between organisms, the climate in which they live, and any other non-living influences on the habitat. Deserts are arid regions that are generally associated with warm temperatures; however ...
