This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: CuttlefishStartleDisplays, Large circular tank (250 cm diameter) contained Opaque screen, Camouflage can make Deimatic displays, Pattern Displays include Flamboyant, Orientation is facing stimulus, Transparent box which would house one of 33 common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), 6 smooth hounds each 90-120 cm in length, coleoids have internal shell or bone, internal shell or bone evolved Camouflage, Locomotive Displays include Burying, Cuttlefish commonly altered defense strategies in response to sea bass. Orientation was always elicited first, followed by retreat and hide and then, in most cuttlefish, pattern changes. but Cuttlefish did not appear to alter defense strategy as frequently in response to smooth hound fish and were commonly hunting when approached. Rarely remained in hiding for more than one minute and often emerged while smooth hound was still visible., Opaque screen then 50% water change, Pattern Displays include Paired Eyespots, Locomotive Displays include Hunting, Deimatic displays characterized by conspicuous pattern, Cuttlefish commonly altered defense strategies in response to sea bass. Orientation was always elicited first, followed by retreat and hide and then, in most cuttlefish, pattern changes. possibly because a highly aggressive cuttlefish predator, 50% water change then cuttlefish introduced to for 30 minutes, Methods filmed Locomotive Displays, Burying is active movement back and forth in substrate, 33 common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) each mantle length of 56-68 mm, Insects benefit from Predator Hesitation
