Octopuses changing colour rapidly incur a high metabolic cost
Nature, Published online: 21 January 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-00080-9Colour change in animals can occur over different timescales and aids communication and camouflage. Direct evidence of the associated energetic costs has been lacking, but now an experimental study of octopuses fills this gap.
