Calculating the energy costs of color changing in ruby octopuses

A pair of biologists at Walla Walla University, in the U.S., have developed a way to calculate the energy costs for certain types of animals with color-changing abilities. In their study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sofie Sonner and Kirt Onthank measured oxygen consumption rates for multiple octopuses during color changes. A pair of biologists at Walla Walla University, in the U.S., have developed a way to calculate the energy costs for certain types of animals with color-changing abilities.
