kanzure"The common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, lays 100,000 to 500,000 small eggs that hatch into planktonic young. O. briareus, on the other hand, lays approximately 500 large eggs which hatch into benthic young (Sweeney 1992)."07:54
kanzure10,000 test subjects? hmm07:54
kanzureoh wait, 500,00007:54
kanzure"If you plan to collect an octopus and are not familiar with their special needs, see Johnston and Forsythe (1993a, 1993b) and Wood (1994) for general information on octopus care."07:55
kanzure"Foods that do work are: mysid shrimp, amphipods, crustacean larvae, crustacean appendages, little kids (just joking), and small crabs. Hanlon (1985) reports that food should be from 1/3 to 2 times the mantle length."07:56
kanzurehuh. there you go.07:56
kanzure"You should also know that octopus eggs can be artificially reared. Simply :-) remove some of the eggs from the mother (she has eight arms, you have two), transfer them to another tank, and suspend them in the water column. Use an airstone to provide a gentle current to keep the eggs well oxygenated and to prevent fouling. One reason that you might want to do this is so you can raise some of the eggs at a higher temperature. These eggs ...07:57
kanzure... will hatch sooner and therefore give you an opportunity to work out some of the glitches (like "I didn't know that they would go up the airline tubing!" or "I didn't realize they eat THAT MUCH!") before the main batch hatches. "07:57

kanzureball python was domesticated in the 60s in africa15:01
kanzure"Researchers at the Max Planck institute in Germany are attempting to find a genetic basis for the processes of taming and domestication. They have obtained two strains of grey rats which were bred by Dmitry Konstantinovich Belyaev at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia, research which was later continued by Irina Plyusnina. One strain had been selected for aggressiveness while the other had been selected for ...15:02
kanzure... tameness, mimicking the process by which neolithic farmers are thought to have first domesticated animals. A similar experiment studying silver foxes has been ongoing at the same institute since 1959.[48] Richard Wrangham of Harvard suggests that similar genes could be involved in human self-domestication.[48]"15:02
kanzure[48] is http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/25/health/25rats.html?pagewanted=all15:02
kanzure"Frank Albert, a graduate student at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, is studying two colonies of tame and hyperaggressive Siberian rats to determine the genetics behind their differences. A handful of genes could be responsible."15:03
kanzureoh wait, i've seen this before. meh. "In fact, after only eight generations, foxes that would tolerate human presence became common in Belyaev’s stock. "15:05
kanzure"She reported that after 40 years of the experiment, and the breeding of 45,000 foxes, a group of animals had emerged that were as tame and as eager to please as a dog."15:05
kanzurewell, 500k octopodes would certainly help speed that sort of project up, although you would still need at least two or three generations to get any interesting results15:06
kanzuresince octopus eggs are transparent you could select for brain size during development15:12

kanzure... feasible in freshwater, but with such a large volume of environmental water inside of you, your osmoregulation problems have gotten to be much much much harder. That is my thoughts on that part.."20:16
kanzure"And I agree...I don't think hemocyanin is as inferior as the traditional view suggests. Octopuses are efficient and extracting O2 from their environment, period. Octopus vulgaris has been shown to be able to take 76% of the oxygen out of each "breath" of water, that is better than humans, and I have found that O. rubescens can regulate their oxygen uptake (keep their oxygen uptake rate the same) down to 7 mmHg (for reference, oxygen ...20:17
kanzure... saturation at this temp, 11 C, is about 156 mmHg). These numbers are actually superior to most vertebrates. Hemocyanin, however, is only half the equation: Biomechanics plays a large part as well. Octopus respiration is such that water flows over the gills through out the entire ventilatory stroke in one direction. Its not a tidal breath like humans perform, its actually unidirectional, which helps alot. This one direction that water ...20:17
kanzure... flows is countercurrent to the blood flow in the gill capillary bed, so extraction is additionally efficient. "20:17
kanzure"As far as I know, even in terrestrial arthropods I think the high social strategy is restricted to hexapoda (the insects), which have extremely few, if any, representatives in marine environments. Terrestrial arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods are just as asocial as their marine relatives, so maybe the better question isn't marine vs. terrestrial but really hexapods vs. the rest arthropods why this hasn't arisen. And since we are ...20:18
kanzure... asking question, why are insects, who have been insanely successful in terrestrial and freshwater environments not further invaded marine environments. If they arose on land, I think I could go for the niche exclusion argument on that one... but serious, I really don't know."20:18

yoleaux"A water beetle is a generalized name for any beetle that is adapted to living in water at any point in its life cycle. Most water beetles can only live in fresh water, with a few marine species that live in the intertidal zone or littoral zone. Water beetles rise to the water surface and take air into their tracheal systems." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_beetle20:22
