Cephalopods Phylum Mollusca Class Cephalopoda (head-foot) 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. There are four types of cephalopods: 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.

Raven's Caw Words from the Raven's mouth... Tuesday, January 1, 2008 Cephalopods! I don't know about you, but I simply adore cephalopods . Yes, octopuses ( octopi ?), cuttlefish and squid, to be more precise. They are magnificent creatures - they are intelligent , strikingly beautiful, demonstrate amazing dexterity, and many of them do this really nifty color/pattern flashing thing that is part camouflage and part communication. Yeah, pretty cool. So, in "homage" to these lovely creatures, I present some samples of my cephalopod bead series: I've been working on this series for a few months. It started with some experimentation with Mokume Gane OK OK , it was really an attempt to figure out how Julie Picarello makes such stunning patterns with Mokume Gane - I'm still working on that one. *scratches head confusedly* But my Muse took it upon herself to push me in another direction after she noticed a couple of interesting patterns that started to happen. So, off I went, following my Muse into the world of cephalopods And what will I do with these big, flashy, chaotic beads? I'll be danged if I know! Sometimes I wish I could just start with a complete idea and follow it through to the end.

25. Nautiloids: The First Cephalopods Octopus News Magazine (includes squid, giant squid, and cephalopods) http://www.tonmo.com/science/fossils/nautiloids.php

HOME ARTICLES FORUMS GALLERY ... ABOUT US Introduction This is the Ordovician period, when gigantic ceph alopods ruled the seas. The world span faster on its axis than it does today, a day would have lasted just twenty-one hours, and no fewer than 417 such days such days were crammed into a single Ordovician year. The Moon would have appeared much larger than it does now causing vast tidal ranges, much more extreme than the present day. The air would have been harder to breathe, with 15% oxygen and higher levels of carbon dioxide. The continents were unrecognisable to our modern eyes and were mostly grouped in the southern latitudes. Origins Life is estimated to have been present on earth from a date of around 3000 million years ago, but until a date of approximately 1000 million it had existed in simple prokaryotic cell forms. The first eukaryotic cells containing a nucleus and other structures appeared around this date and slowly began to form colonies and live cooperatively. It is roughly at a date of 600 million that we start to find evidence of complex organised life though the fauna would appear very strange to our eyes; strange quilted animals that are hard to interpret, jellyfish, forms of sea pen and peculiar discoid creatures with a three-fold symmetry. Animal life that we would recognise, primitive molluscs, arthropods and chordates are known from deposits from China at a date of 540 million. These early molluscs were an insignificant group of animals in the Cambrian period, largely immobile and overshadowed by the much more spectacular arthropods. At the very end of the Cambrian an environmental event happened that had opened up the world to allow the molluscs to ascend to take the place of the arthropods as top predator.

Manuel (the BF) loves dried squid and octopus snacks. So much so that we usually have a few bags in the larder at any given time. While not my cup of tea, I must admit to being a big fan of octopus jerky ever since I chowed-down on my first few tentacles while on a teaching stint in Coos Bay, Oregon at the fabulous Oregon Institute of Marine Biology . My colleague and pal Trish Mace first introduced me to this local delicacy and I've been jonesing to get back to Coos Bay ever since. Damn you, Trish!

Cephalopods are marine predators; these carnivores eat fish, worms, crustaceans, and other mollusks. Some cephalopods include the octopus, squid, cuttlefish, nautilus, and ammonite (and other extinct animals). There are about 650 living cephalopods and over 7,500 known extinct cephalopods. Cephalopod means "head-foot." The foot of the cephalopod is a cluster of tentacles that connects directly to the head. The brain, the eyes, and the other sensory organs are well-developed. Cephalopods breathe using gills. They swim by jet-propulsion; they rapidly expel water from the mantle cavity through a specialized, tube-like organ called the hyponome. Many can also eject a cloud of ink to confuse enemies.

skip to main skip to sidebar Catalogue of Organisms An inordinate fondness for systematics Wednesday, 10 October 2007 More giant cephalopods While trying to answer a query from Neil on the previous post , I discovered that there was an even bigger fossil cephalopod out there than the Parapuzosia I showed you yesterday (offhand, I gave the size of Parapuzosia as 2.5 m, which is apparently not entirely correct. The actual fossil itself is around 2 m in diameter, but is missing most of the living chamber [cephalopod shells are divided into a number of successive chambers, with the actual animal only occupying the youngest chamber] - 2.5 m is an estimated size if the living chamber were intact). Cameroceras was an straight-shelled endoceratid 'nautiloid' in the early Ordovician that reached about 10 m in length, though there seems to be some uncertainty - reading between the lines, I'm guessing that we don't have an entirely intact shell for Cameroceras either, and the total size is again an estimate. But note that that length doesn't include tentacles! The picture at the top of the post comes from here , but note that the site linked is obviously a collection of pictures taken from elsewhere (a number of them even have the unmistakeable style of Palaeos.org's

"He was a very powerful animal. He probably stood about eight feet high..." HOME SEARCH GLOSSARY ... Mollusca The Cephalopoda Squids, octopuses, nautilus, and ammonites FUN FACT: From the dark abyss to shallow tide pools, research has recently revealed some of the mysterious behaviors of two famed cephalopods, the Giant Squid and the deadly Blue-ringed octopus (click image below for an enlargement). Cephalopods are the most intelligent, most mobile, and the largest of all molluscs. Squid, octopuses, cuttlefish, the chambered nautilus, and their relatives display remarkable diversity in size and lifestyle with adaptations for predation, locomotion, disguise, and communication. These "brainy" invertebrates have evolved suckered tentacles, camera-like eyes, color-changing skin, and complex learning behavior. Their lengthy evolutionary history spans an impressive 500 million years and the abundant fossils they've left behind (mostly shelled nautiloids and ammonoids) record repeated speciation and extinction events. From myths about their enigmatic fossilized remains to fantastic accounts of tentacled sea monsters, cephalopods also figure prominently in the literature and folklore of human societies around the world. Today, biologists and paleontologists continue to captivate the human mind and imagination with details of these molluscs' behavior, natural history, and evolution. Fossil record There are about 17,000 named species of fossil cephalopods, compared to the 800 identified living species of cephalopods. Clearly the lineages of extinct taxa were prolific and diverse. So diverse in fact, that paleontologists have identified three distinct fossil clades that are entirely extinct: Endoceratoidea, Actinoceratoidea, and Bactritoidea (cladogram A, at right). All members of these clades were squid-like, but had straight external shells called orthocones. They flourished in Paleozoic oceans between the Ordovician (488 mya) and Triassic periods (200 mya) with shells that, in some species, reached nearly 10 meters in length.

Nautiloid Cephalopods The Nautiloid Cephalopods are the group of Cephalopods that have a simple suture pattern to the shell. The suture is either gently curved or nearly straight. Chambered Nautilus The Chambered Nautilus is a living species of the Nautiloid Cephalopods. As you can see in the picture below the shell of the Nautilus is subdivided into various rooms which are connected by a tube called the siphuncle. They are able to use the shell as a buoyance compensation device. They can fill the rooms (camera) with water, air, or possibly sediment to balance their body in the water. This makes the Cephalopod an excellent predator. Ordovician Nautiloid Cephalopod This specimen is from the Ordovician, (Richmond) of southwestern Ohio. The specimen was collected on the banks of the Stillwater River, close to Triangle Park in Dayton, Ohio. This is a popular spot for classes of the Dayton Museum of Natural History, summer program.

37. ... And God Created Squid ... The cephalopods are a group of animals that include octopi, squid, and nautilus. They have eyes that are superficially similar to our eye, http://eddie.mit.edu/~jc/humor/Squid.html

... and God Created Squid ... For some years, some biologists have argued that the Biblical Creation story ends too soon; there was a 7th day of creation, during which God thought about his prototypes and finally made the crowning glory of his creation here on Earth: the giant squid. The basic problem with the idea that we humans are the peak of His creation was pointed out by none other than Charles Darwin. The problem is explaining the evolution of the vertebrate eye. He gave this as a serious problem, because this organ doesn't fossilize at all, and it is difficult to explain how all the intermediate forms could have been sufficiently functional for Natural Selection to have selected them. In recent years, creationists have used Darwin's problem (generally without giving him credit) as part of their challenge to the entire evolutionary paradigm. Some biologists have given serious thought to their criticisms, especially Darwin's issue of the eye. Some have suggested the thought experiment: Suppose that the creationists are right, and the world was built by some sort of Cosmic Engineer (which we may call "God" for short). What can we learn by studying the artifacts of this creation process? One thing that we learn when we study the vertebrate eye is that it has a rather strange structure. The blood vessels and the nerves pass through the surface in a bundle (the "blind spot"), and spread out on the inside of the retina. This is a rather bizarre way to lay out the "wiring". Why would any sensible engineer do it this way, rather than the much more sensible way of running the wiring along the back surface?

Almost everyone assumes that cephalopod overfishing won't happen. Yeah, well people used to say that about sardines too. I don't buy the argument. The rationale for squid is the same for sardines: they're short-lived, prolific, and fluctuate naturally, so they'll never be overfished. Sardines famously crashed in California in the 1940s, illustrating the problem . During a down cycle of low reproduction, heavy fishing continued . Instead of dropping naturally to something like 20% of peak numbers, the overfished sardine collapsed to around 0.1%, and took decades to recover. They missed the next "boom" period because there were too few breeding sardines left. So what's the future for cephalopod fisheries? Some squid fisheries have collapsed in the past, in California and elsewhere, and future crashes are likely if management doesn't improve

Enlarge Image The Pepsi SodaQuest submersible "We here at Pepsico have already blanketed the Earth's entire surface, achieving near-total ad saturation from the ice sheets of the Antarctic to the dense canopy of the Amazon rainforest," Pepsico vice-president of marketing Alec Herring told reporters. "Having long ago established Pepsi product awareness throughout the global human population, we remain committed to our stated goal of seeking out and advertising to every species on the planet, even those still unknown to science." Giant undersea cephalopods, a species of giant octopus believed to be living undetected far beneath the ocean surface, "may or may not exist," according to marine biologists. The creatures, which are theorized to grow to hundreds of feet in diameter, are thought to be the only lifeform on the planet currently unaware of Pepsi's existence.
