On the Visual System of Nautilus Pompilius

The anatomy of the eye of Nautilus pompilius Linnaeus was studied, using light and electron microscopy. The outer and inner surfaces of the iris were found to be lined with columnar epithelium bearing microvilli, except for the groove running ventrally from the pupil over the outer surface of the iris, where the epithelial cells bear cilia. Many mucus cells are also present. The epithelium of t...

A revisited phylogeography of Nautilus pompilius

The cephalopod genus Nautilus is considered a "living fossil" with a contested number of extant and extinct species, and a benthic lifestyle that limits movement of animals between isolated seamounts and landmasses in the Indo-Pacific. Nautiluses are fished for their shells, most heavily in the Philippines, and these fisheries have little monitoring or regulation. Here, we evaluate the hypothes...

Three-dimensional odor tracking by Nautilus pompilius.

The 'living fossil' Nautilus pompilius is thought to use olfaction as its primary sensory system during foraging, yet neither the organs responsible for olfaction nor the mechanisms or behaviors associated with odor tracking have been subjected to experimentation. Flume testing under dark conditions revealed that Nautilus could consistently detect and follow turbulent odor plumes to the source ...

The impressive complexity in the Nautilus pompilius shell

The complexity of the Nautilus pompilius shell is analyzed in terms of its fractal dimension and its equiangular spiral form. Our findings assert that the shell is fractal from its birth and that its growth is dictated by a self-similar criterion (we obtain the fractal dimension of the shell as a function of time). The variables that have been used for the analysis show an exponential dependenc...

A biphasic memory curve in the chambered nautilus, Nautilus pompilius L. (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea).

Cephalopods are an exceptional taxon for examining the competing influences of ecology and evolutionary history on brain and behaviour. Coleoid cephalopods (octopuses, cuttlefishes and squids) have evolved specialised brains containing dedicated learning and memory centres, and rely on plastic behaviours to hunt prey effectively and communicate intricate visual displays. Their closest living re...
