Saccadic Movement Strategy in Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)
Most moving animals segregate their locomotion trajectories in short burst like rotations and prolonged translations, to enhance distance information from optic flow, as only translational, but not rotational optic flow holds distance information. Underwater, optic flow is a valuable source of information as it is in the terrestrial habitat, however, so far, it has gained only little attention....
متن کاملAccommodation in the cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis).
We have studied natural accommodation in the eye of six specimens of cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) as they were fed with fish and shrimp. Using infrared photoretinoscopy, we observed (1) that the resting refractive state of the cuttlefish was emmetropic or slightly hyperopic, (2) that accommodation took place only a fraction of a second before a strike and (3) that accommodation focused select...
متن کاملCommon cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) mortality at the National Zoological Park: implications for clinical management.
Six out of seven cuttlefish acquired by the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in July 1998 died before 1 November 1998. Postmortem examinations showed mantle ulcers, secondary bacterial infections, inanition, and cuttlebone fractures. The surviving cuttlefish developed a progressive focal mantle ulcer, was treated with oral chloramphenicol intermittently for 9 wk, and maintained a normal app...

– The cuttlefish’s inner shell, better known under the name “cuttlebone”, is a complex structure that has been studied by scientists since nearly two centuries. indeed, this shell which is involved in tissue support and buoyancy regulation unites useful properties such as high mechanical resistance, porosity and permeability. Moreover, this ostensibly straight shell is unique in extant and know...
متن کاملCamouflage during movement in the European cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis).
A moving object is considered conspicuous because of the movement itself. When moving from one background to another, even dynamic camouflage experts such as cephalopods should sacrifice their extraordinary camouflage. Therefore, minimizing detection at this stage is crucial and highly beneficial. In this study, we describe a background-matching mechanism during movement, which aids the cuttlef...
