Invertebrates are playing an increasingly important role in biomedical
research. Because many of their biological processes are temperature
dependant, they have allowed us to view biochemical pathways and intermediate
steps in ways that would be impossible with birds or mammals. Some have
cells or organs similar to those found in man but greatly enlarged. The
giant axon in the squid and the muscle cells in barnacles are the largest in
the animal kingdom. Earth worms have been used to study pesticide and
heavy metal toxicity, horseshoe crabs are used in vision and color perception
studies, and sea urchins are used to study heredity, cell division, and
embryology.
From scallop to sand dollar, invertebrates have served as models of human
and animal disease. Sea squirts have been used to study kidney stones and
squid used in multiple sclerosis research. Hermit crabs have been used as
models for Parkinson's disease.
Invertebrates are relatively easy to maintain, less expensive, and less
labor intensive than more traditional laboratory animals. From a societal
standpoint, invertebrates may be more acceptable as laboratory animals than
vertebrates. Many researchers, either by law or policy, are required to
consider ways to reduce the number of animals proposed for an experiment,
refine their techniques to minimize pain and distress to the animals, and
replace the animal model with a non-animal model or a taxonomically lower
species. Use of the invertebrate is considered a replacement alternative
to the use of vertebrates. Since research has not yet shown invertebrate
cognition of what would be considered pain in mammals and birds, their use
is also a refinement alternative.
This guide, Information Resources on the Care and Use of
Invertebrates, provides a snap shot of how invertebrates are being used
in research and, just as important, how they are cultured, reared, and housed
in the laboratory. The bibliographic citations cover the publication years
January 1990 to February 2000 unless there is a key reference before
that period. The bibliographic citations resulted from searching several
databases and the Smithsonian Institution Cephalopod Bibliography.
The call number is included for materials in the National
Agricultural Library's (NAL) collection. NAL's document delivery policies
can be found on the Collection Services webpage at
http://www.nal.usda.gov/services/request.shtml.
The websites and organizations at the end of some sections were current
as of October 2000. They were found by running general searches on the
World Wide Web. As sites can become outdated or relocated and new sites
emerge, a general search on one of the commercial search engines should
help locate address changes or new sites if the addresses included in this
document no longer function.

Abstract: The sea urchin embryo follows a relatively simple cell behavioral sequence in its gastrulation movements. The embryo reaches the gastrula stage as a spherical monolayer of cells. To form the mesoderm, primary mesenchyme cells ingress by
delaminating from the vegetal plate, crossing the basal lamina and moving into the central blastocoelar cavity. These cells then migrate along the basal lamina lining the blastocoel and eventually manufacture the skeleton. The presumptive
secondary mesenchyme and endoderm invaginate as a tubular sheet of cells from the vegetal pole of the embryo. The archenteron extends across the blastocoel until its tip touches and attaches to the opposite side of the blastocoel. Secondary mesenchyme
cells,
originally at the tip of the archenteron, differentiate to form a variety of structures including coelomic pouches, esophageal muscles, pigment cells, and other cell types. The endoderm fuses with an invagination of the ventral ectoderm (the stomodaem),
to form the mouth and complete the process of gastrulation.

Abstract: We describe a method for transporting live squid, Todarodes pacificus (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae), using cold-water anesthesia. Squid were placed individually in 30-1 plastic bags with 5-1 of 0-1 degrees C seawater and 10-15 1 of
oxygen gas. Thirteen of 14 anesthetized squid survived 6.5 h transport by car and airplane with no signs of distress or shock. The longest survival under
anesthesia was 10 h.

Publications with JPEG photos and AVI videos from Smithsonian Institution researchers who have been working with in-situ observations on deep-sea cephalopods from submersibles for several years. These WWW pages have been created to serve
as a multimedia appendix to traditional
scientific publications on squids, octopods and their relatives.
Cephalopod International Advisory Council
(Addresses of current officers are posted on the website)
http://www.abdn.ac.uk/CIAC/
Founded in 1983, the aims of CIAC are to stimulate, accelerate and influence the direction of cephalopod research, to provide help and advice on aspects of cephalopod biology, including those relevant to the management of the
increasingly important cephalopod fisheries, and to spread
information on past and current research.
CIAC holds workshops and symposia, endorses meetings organized by cephalopod workers, and produces workshop proceedings and a newsletter.
The Cephalopod Page
http://www.thecephalopodpage.org/
This site is maintained by Dr. James B. Wood, a faculty member of the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences. The comprehensive site contains in-house articles ranging from procurement, housing, and breeding cephalopods to cephalopods in cinema. T
here are species factsheets with photos, a list of suppliers by species with links to the supplier=s sites, conference information, news, and links to related sites including CephBase. In addition to the
information,
your mouse will turn into a squid and squirt black ink all over the screen in its trail.
The Cephalopod Group
Replacing the Cephalopod Page listserver, the Ceph Group is devoted to promoting discussion of
cephalopod biology, husbandry and behavior. This list moderated and open to
everyone. The site is maintained by Dr. James B. Wood. To subscribe, go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ceph/?yguid=162165586.

National Resource for Aplysia
http://aplysia.miami.edu/
The National Resource for Aplysia at the University of Miami is the only place in the world where Aplysia californica are cultured and raised for research purposes.
Bibliographia Nudibranchia
http://repositories.cdlib.org/ims/Bibliographia_Nudibranchia/
Gary McDonald's bibliography of the nudibranch literature. This bibliography attempts to list all publications which mention nudibranchs, with the exception of textbooks and field guides to local marine
animals. Citations were compiled from Biological Abstracts, its
RRM counterpart and antecedent, BIOSIS, Current Contents, Zoological Record, Russells's Index Nudibranchia and supplement, and Opisthobranch Newsletter.
Additional citations were gleaned from the "references cited" sections of
numerous major nudibranch articles. A search engine allows keyword and Boollean literature searches.
