What's your excuse for not reading this, anon? We read all this stupid fiction about absurd stuff. Instead, enjoy some nonfiction about squid conversations.

Also, does anyone know where I can find a PDF of it? I'm willing to pay for it, but I can't even find one for sale. I read it a long time ago and didn't really understand the stuff he was saying about language. Now I think I might be able to get more out of it. I would just order it, but it'd take forever to get here.

This thread is certainly different, and I will happily bump it.

I'm writing a paper on possible different modalities of communication (like, besides small mouth noises), and I'm trying to use molluscoid communication as an example, since they're such cool creatures.

It's all based on color. It's really crazy to watch in action.

The book I'm shilling in the OP has a bunch of great illustrations of various ways they do it, which is why I'm so eager to find it.

i jist picked this up OP and the preface has a glowing recommendation for "the brains and the lives of cephalopods.

That's fascinating. Out of curiosity, have you put any research into plantae and fungi communication (such as in embrophyta or mycelium networks)? Currently particularly interested in applications of such knowledge for agricultural purposes so any tips would be deeply appreciated.

The video you linked is mind-blowing. Perhaps my eyes deceive me but it looked like one of the squids was shimmering? I'm very keen on reading the literature you've provided in this thread (and would like to thank you for doing so). The mechanisms behind this iridescence (specifically the capacity for dynamic tuneable structural coloration - https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2012.1374)) lead to interesting possibilities within the context of synthetic biological applications.

I heard a lot about fungus communication, but the more I look at communication in nature, the more I realize that it's fucking everywhere and there's no way I can talk about all of it in the paper
