Extractions: E.Widder/Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution * 1999 There has been some debate in the past about whether or not cephalopods actually bioluminesce. Past studies have speculated that observed luminescence is due to reasons ranging from infection due to luminous bacteria to reflection of ambient light by iridophores. However, it has since been reported that at least some octopods possess a circumoral organ which has the ability to luminesce significantly in conditions that eliminate any type of outside luminescence. It should be noted that this organ is only present in the female gender of the species studied ( Eledonella pygmaea and Japetella diaphana) . This fact points to the conclusion that bioluminescence is advantagous in the mating behavior of octopods.

Extractions: Nautilida The Cephalopoda ("head-foot") or Cephalopods are a class of the phylum Mollusca Cephalopods are characterized by bilateral body symmetry, a prominent head, and a modification of the mollusc foot into the form of arms or tentacles. The class contains two subclasses . In the Coleoidea , the mollusc shell has been internalized or is absent; this subclass includes the octopuses squids , and cuttlefish . In the Nautiloidea the shell remains; this subclass includes the nautilus . There are around 786 distinct living species of Cephalopods. Two important extinct subclasses are Ammonoidea, the ammonites and Belemnoidea, the belemnites Cephalopods are found in all the oceans of the world and at all depths. They are regarded as the most intelligent of the invertebrates and have well developed senses. They have special skin cells call

Extractions: This order (photos above and below) includes the common 'octopus,' and the finned octopods found deep in the oceans and sometimes in shallow polar waters. Finned octopods, or Cirrata, have cirri (hair-like structures, probably for feeding) lining each of their arms. The Incirrata have no fins, and their arms are lined exclusively with suckers. This image courtesy of the University of Arizona, Tree of Life One species of Vampyromorpha is known to exist - the vampire squid. These creatures share traits with both octopods and decapods, but have special adaptations for deep-sea life. They are gelatinous and their second pair of arms are special sensory filaments. Their chromatophores cannot change color as quickly as other cephalopods', and they do not have ink sacs; instead, they have photophores, which exude glowing particles!

Cool Communication Of Cephalopods
The Cool Communication of cephalopods. Although cephalopods are in the same class, they look remarkably different from each other.
http://marinediscovery.arizona.edu/lessonsF00/blennies/2.html

Extractions: The class cephalopoda, in the phylum Mollusca, includes octopus, squid, cuttlefish and the rare nautilus. The word cephalopod literally means head-foot. As a class in the phylum Mollusca, cephalopods are also related to gastropods (snails) and bivalves (clams, mussels). Although cephalopods are in the same class, they look remarkably different from each other. However, all cephalopods do share several characteristics. All cephalopods have sucker-bearing arms around the front of their heads squid and octopus have eight while cuttlefish and nautilus have more. Additionally, squid and cuttlefish have two long tentacles used for grabbing prey. Cephalopods have highly developed eyes, large brains and a sac from which they discharge a black mucus-bound ink. Ink is used for defense and disguise. The ink obscures the cephalopod and can irritate the eyes of the predator, which allows the cephalopod time to escape. All cephalopods move by expelling water from a siphon under the head. Octopods also use their arms to crawl.
BBC - H2g2 - Skin Specialisations Among Cephalopods - A703315
Life / The Natural World / Animals Skin Specialisations Among cephalopods. The mantles (a specialised skin) of cephalopods serve several different functions.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A703315

Extractions: Over the years there have been many studies of cephalopods - among them Loligo opalescens , a species of squid common off the coast of California. These studies have turned up many things, not the least of which is the uniqueness of cephalopod adaptations in their skin and musculature. Virtually every part of a cephalopod body has specialised features that help it survive. Musculature and Tentacle Structure The mantles (a specialised skin) of cephalopods serve several different functions. Some of these can be found in the skins of other animals, such as the protection of vital organs. Others, however, are unique to cephalopods. Some features are in fact unique to decapods (any dibranchiate cephalopod having ten arms). Functions of the mantle that differentiate it from the skins of other animals include respiration and locomotion. Aspects that are unique in decapods relate to the format and functionality of the musculature of the mantle. In certain genera of decapods, such as

http://www.uky.edu/KGS/coal/webfossl/pages/cephalopods.html

Extractions: Cephalopods (Octopi and Squids) Cephalopods are molluscan animals that live in the sea. The group includes the modern octopi and squids as well as many fossil forms. The name cephalopod means "head foot" and it looks as though its feet (actually tentacles) are growing out of its head. The soft parts of the cephalopod animals are not fossilized, but the shell fossils are common in some strata. The inside of the fossil cephalopod shells are very similar to the internal parts of the modern Nautilus , a squid-like animal with a coiled shell. Because the shell structure is similar, we infer that the fossil cephalopods animals were similar to Nautilus when they were alive. For more information, contact Don Chesnut

Extractions: Phylum Mollusca Class cephalopods Cephalopod, common name for any of a class of actively predatory marine mollusks, including the squid, octopus, and nautilus. The word cephalopod means head footed, and the animals are so named because the arms surround the mouth. Cephalopods are highly evolved animals in terms of structure and physiology, and the complexity of their behavior is equal to that of fish. Ecologically successful, they are among the more common predators in the sea; in turn they are eaten by many other animals, including humans. Giant squid, which can weigh as much as 900 kg (1980 lb), are the largest of all invertebrates. About 650 species of cephalopod are known. The class is an ancient one, first appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian period, about 600 million years ago. Primitive cephalopods, like other mollusks, had large external shells, but these were gradually reduced as the animals grew faster and more active. The remaining primitive cephalopod, the nautilus, retains many archaic traits, such as an external shell with gas-filled chambers that aid flotation. The front of the nautiloid body protrudes from the opening of the shell and bears many suckerless arms. Below the head is a mantle cavity with four gills; a funnel around its opening ejects water to provide weak jet propulsion. The eyes lack lenses, and the nervous system is fairly simple. Prey is grasped with the tentacles and can be bitten with the mouth's sharp beak.

http://www.cyhaus.com/marine/cephalopod.htm

Extractions: Because of the many movies in which cephalopods, especially octopi and squids, attack people, boats, etc., there is a misconception that they are aggressive and dumb creatures. In fact, there are only two species of octopi that are aggressive (they are located in Austrailia), and they are highly intelligent. They are probably the most intelligent of all the invertebrates. Octopi they have eight symmetric arms (tenticles) which are used for their protection and for obtaining food. They have an interesting mating ritual: The males and females do not mate with any other partners besides the chosen one. Shortly after the female has her children, she dies, but the male stays with herhe does not mate again. This example is one of the only monogamous relationship that exists among animals. The octopus also has the most advanced sensory systems of any other invertebrate. Squids have ten polymorphic armstwo special arms that an octopus doesn not have. They use Rajiform (after Raja=skate) swimming motions in which they undulate their lateral fins like a skate or ray does. They also have something called jet propulsion. This is caused by the squid taking water into its mantle cavaties and then expelling it at high speeds through a nozzle like siphon in the opposite direction that the squid wants to move. The siphon can be aimed in any direction for course corrections and maneuvering purposes. The squid uses its tenticles for food and for protection. The myth of the Giant Squid is in fact true. It is a very shy creature and is usually only seen if it dies and washes up on shore.

Extractions: Cephalopods The nautiloid cephalopods (feet before head) are an ancient and spectacular success story. Small and rare during the late Cambrian, the nautiloids evolved very quickly along many different lines. At least ten different orders flourished at this time, all but one appearing for the first time during the early or middle part of the Ordovician. This astonishing diversity included straight, curved, loosely coiled, and tightly coiled shelled types, and even one group (the Ascocerids ) that in order to become lighter and more streamlined lost a large part of their shell altogether. These intelligent carnivorous mollusks replaced the Cambrian Anomalocarids as the dominant life form and top predator of the world's ocean. The biggest, such as the endocerids , attained huge size; with shells 3 to 5 meters or more in length they were the largest animal that had ever lived.
