Physiological Progenesis in Cephalopod Molluscs
The coleoid cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid and octopus) arose from their shelled ancestors during the late Devonian; they diversified in the Jurassic but did not radiate substantially until the Tertiary. Since then they have coevolved with the fish (1).

Calcium/calmodulin dependence of nitric oxide synthase from Viviparus ater immunocytes
The calcium ion dependence of soluble and particulate nitric oxyde synthase (NOS) activity from Viviparus ater immunocytes was investigated. At a calcium ion concentration of 2 nM, the NOS activity measured by citrulline formation was 27.1 ± 2.2 and 9.3 ±

A hedgehog-like signal is involved in slow muscle differentation in Sepia officinalis (Mollusca)
In the tentacle of Sepia officinalis, smooth-like, helical and cross-striated fibres deriving from different populations of myoblasts are present. Myoblasts appear at different times during the development and express two muscle-specific transcription ...

Social predation by a nudibranch mollusc
Abstract Social predation is a common strategy used by predators to subdue and consume prey. Animals that use this strategy have many ways of finding each other, organizing behaviors and consuming prey. There is wide variation in the extent to which these behaviors are coordinated and the stability of individual roles.
