Cuttlefish utilize distinct, expressive arm-waving gestures for visual and vibrational communication. Researchers Sophie Cohen-Bodenes and Peter Neri documented four specific signals: up, side, roll, and crown. Each gesture appears to serve different social purposes, from mating displays to intimidation of predators. This study highlights the complexity of cuttlefish behavior and communication methods, suggesting that their use of arm movements may be more intricate than previously recognized, potentially indicating advanced cognitive abilities among these marine invertebrates.
In their study, the researchers identified four distinct arm-waving gestures among cuttlefish, which may represent an advanced form of communication previously unknown.
The arm-waving gestures known as up, side, roll, and crown showcase the complexities of cuttlefish communication, marking a significant advancement in our understanding of these creatures.
