Fast and flexible: the cephalopod repertoire
Biologist (London).
2000 Sep.
Abstract
The cephalopods differ remarkably from their molluscan cousins such as snails and bivalves. Fast moving, active predators, they have behavioural and physiological capabilities that stimulate and fascinate marine zoologists. Research on their methods of prey capture and handling, in particular, demonstrates the adaptability of the cephalopod format.
