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.

Since 1994, graduate students in the Insect Ecology course at the University of Florida have contributed chapters to the University of Florida Book of Insect Records, a book that names insect champions and documents their achievements. Each chapter deals with a different category of record. Records range from fastest flier to most tolerant to cold or largest blood meal or greatest bioluminencence. All records include a research paper and references.

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.

CephBase is a dynamic html relational database-driven interactive web page. The purpose of CephBase is to provide life history, distribution, catch and taxonomic data on all living species of cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus). It also provides predator-prey information. A search engine allows searching records by species. CephBase is created and maintained by James B. Wood and Catriona L. Day under the supervision of Dr. Ron K. O'Dor, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

There are also links to the "marine mammal" and "fisheries" pages and more general pages about Marine and Fisheries Science at the University of Aberdeen. "Eurosquid" was the nickname given to the EC-funded project on "Fishery Potential of North East Atlantic Squid Stocks" (1990-92).
The website contains bibliographic citations, abstracts, and posters from researchers in the program; abstracts from ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) annual meetings; job information; squid-related links; news items; and a page hosting the ICES Working Group on Cephalopod Fisheries and Life History.

The Cephalopod Bibliography describes publications (books, journal articles, etc.) about recent cephalopods and cephalopod related subjects (predators, prey, etc.). It is searchable by keyword, title, author, and subject. This bibliography comprises publications located at the Division of Mollusks, NMNH. At present, the entries concentrate primarily on works in English or those with an English summary. Future additions to this catalog will include foreign language publications . No attempt has been made for comprehensive coverage of cephalopod publications on fossils or neurophysiology.
