squid

The Physics and Biology Unit develops physical science-based tools aimed primarily at the study of biological systems. Major interests include genome evolution and population genomics to obtain new insight into how genetic variation couples natural selection and evolution. 

Footage captured at OIST’s Marine Science Station shows that squid have an amazing ability to change color to match the substrate in order to avoid predation.
