Presumptive ciliated receptors associated with the fibrillar glands of the spines of the echinoderm Amphipholis squamata

Cell and Tissue Research, 1983
The ultrastructure of the cuticle, fibrillar glands and stäbchen (see Reichensperger 1908) of the arm spines of the brittle star Amphipholis squamata are described. Stäbchen are shown to be cuticular projections into which pass one or more uniciliate cytoplasmic processes.

Is There a Link Between Morphological, Physiological and Genetic Variability of the Ophiuroid Amphipholis Squamata?

Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 2000
Amphipholis squamata is a small ophiuroid considered to be distributed worldwide except in Polar Regions. Numerous colour varieties were reported fur this species, which is also bioluminescent. It is hermaphrodite and brood protecting; both selfing and outcrossing occur.

Evidence of seasonal variation in bioluminescence of Amphipholis squamata (Ophiuroidea, Echinodermata): effects of environmental factors [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2000
The bioluminescence of Amphipholis squamata was assessed from freshly collected individuals for 16 successive months, and from individuals maintained in the laboratory under various experimental conditions of salinity, temperature and photoperiodic regime.

Luminescence control in the brittlestar Amphipholis squamata: Effect of cholinergic drugs

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology, 1996
Potassium chloride and cholinergic drugs were rested on isolated arms of Amphipholis squamata; potassium chloride triggered a monophasic light emission; acetylcholine (10(-3) M) induced a luminescent response characterized by multiple flashes. ACh luminescence was increased in the presence of the cholinesterase inhibitor, eserine. Nicotinic antagonists,

Intraspecific Variations of Bioluminescence in a Polychromatic Population OfAmphipholis Squamata(Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea)

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1997
Six colour varieties were recognized in an intertidal population ofAmphipholis squamatafrom Normandy (France). Each variety exhibits its own capacity to produce light, the light emitted by the most luminous variety being 500 times more intense than that emitted by the least luminous one.
