Octopuses learn mirror-guided navigation to locate prey
Octopuses learn mirror-guided navigation to locate prey Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Octopuses are remarkably intelligent creatures, as was demonstrated by Inky the Octopus's famous escape from the National Aquarium of New Zealand through a drainpipe back to sea in 2016. A new Dartmouth study shows octopuses can use mirrors to find food out of sight, demonstrating spatial cognitive abilities. The results are published in Current Biology.
Octopuses use mirrors to find food they cannot see
Octopuses use mirrors to find food they cannot see Octopuses just joined an exclusive intelligence club by learning to use mirrors to find hidden food. - Date: - June 5, 2026 - Source: - Dartmouth College - Summary: - Octopuses may be even smarter than we thought.
Octopus surge spreads up UK coast as far as Scotland, study finds
Record numbers linked to warming waters is mixed news for fishers, with shellfish catches down but octopus catches boomingRecord numbers of octopuses found off the south-west coast of England last year have now spread as far as Scotland and Wales and are transforming the fishing industry and the marine ecosystem, according to a study. The surge in sightings of one of the world’s most intelligent invertebrates was first recorded in 2025 off the south coast of Devon and Cornwall.

Adorable tiny blue octopus found nearly 6,000 feet beneath the Galápagos
A mysterious little blue octopus discovered nearly 6,000 feet beneath the waters of the Galápagos Islands has officially been identified as a brand-new species. About the size of a golf ball, the tiny creature stunned researchers during a deep-sea expedition when it suddenly appeared on camera, crawling across the ocean floor near an underwater mountain.
Octopus bloom may be here to stay, say scientists
The Marine Biological Association says the invasive species has successfully bred in UK waters.
Learning Self-Correction in Vision-Language Models via Rollout Augmentation
arXiv:2602.08503v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Self-correction is essential for solving complex reasoning problems in vision-language models (VLMs). However, existing reinforcement learning (RL) methods struggle to learn it, as effective self-correction behaviors emerge only rarely, making learning signals extremely sparse. To address this challenge, we propose correction-specific rollouts (Octopus), an RL rollout augmentation framework that synthesizes dense self-correction examples by...
