Squid Skin May Work Like an Ear, Study Finds
Original: Squid Skin May Work Like an Ear, Surprising New Research Suggests
New research suggests squid skin may be able to detect sound, functioning similarly to an ear and adding to what scientists know about how cephalopods sense their environment. The surprising finding is drawing attention in biology circles, as squid were long thought to rely on other senses, and it could reshape understanding of marine animal hearing.
Why now: The unexpected suggestion that squid skin may sense sound challenges existing assumptions about cephalopod biology.
