Our squid study made The New York Times! 🦑✨ The piece highlights a novel behaviour we observed during abyssal ROV surveys (>4000 m depth) - a reminder of how little we still know about deep-sea ecosystems www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/s...

Why do we see so few squid in the abyss? Because they hide from us, pretending to be sponges!🦑 New paper by @alemejiasaenz.bsky.social captures a potential new whiplash-squid species that burrows between nodules at the #CCZ, world's largest region targeted for #deepseamining doi.org/10.1002/ecy....
