Heat stress from global heating could lead to impaired vision and increased deaths of pregnant mothers and their unborn young, Australian researchers say
I wonder if octopi will gain shorter gestation cycles or increased number of offspring. I just learned recently that those are common adaptations for organisms with higher selection pressures (like mice and insects).
They’re already very short with plentiful offspring. They have what’s known as an “R-Type” reproductive strategy.
It’s possible that accelerates but it’s also possible that a successful adaptation has longer gestation cycles. It’s not really something you can easily predict.
