Climate change adaptation is the process of adjusting to the effects of climate change. These can be both current or expected impacts. [1] Adaptation aims to moderate or avoid harm for people, and is usually done alongside climate change mitigation. It also aims to exploit opportunities. Humans may also intervene to help adjust for natural ...
Stauroteuthis is one of only two genera of octopuses to exhibit bioluminescence. [3] S. syrtensis emits a blue-green light from about 40 modified suckers known as photophores situated in a single row between the pairs of cirri on the underside of each arm. The distance between these decreases towards the ends of the arms with the light becoming ...

Abdopus capricornicus change their patterning in order to camouflage in varying circumstances, whether intraspecific or interspecific interactions. [10]
