This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: CuttlefishStartleDisplays, Transparent box contained Seaweed, Interpretation of Results included Spatial constraint did not appear to induce deimatic displays, Deimatic displays characterized by conspicuous pattern, Significant results included Adult predatory fish never elicited deimatic display, Cuttlefish used deimatic displays against unthreatening teleosts (e.g. juvenile sea bass), not predators meaning Cuttlefish can discriminate between threat levels and species., Transparent box which would house one of 33 common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), Young adult cuttlefish can discriminate moderately threatening heterospecifics from large dangerous predators. thus proving In contrast to certain insect groups, cuttlefish discriminate between threatening stimuli and do not use deimatic display against large predatory fish, even when spatially constrained and unable to show rapid and immediate flight., Interpretation of Results included Young adult cuttlefish can discriminate moderately threatening heterospecifics from large dangerous predators., Significant results included Splayed arms, orientation, and retreat and hide elicited only by adult fish, Animals that cannot flee fast so Hypothesis, 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., prey for cuttlefish to test for Hunting, Deimatic displays characterized by Increase in apparent size, Insects benefit from Deimatic displays, Interpretation of Results included Sea bass seemed to elicit more varied responses., coleoids have Advanced decision-making capabilities, Locomotive Displays include Orientation, for 30 minutes then filmed with Video camera, 6 smooth hounds each originally wild-caught, Cuttlefish can discriminate between threat levels and species. similar to Vertebrates (e.g. birds and mammals)
