The Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes): a model to study the molecular basis of eukaryote-prokaryote mutualism and the development and evolution of morphological novelties in cephalopods.

All multicellular animals interact with the microbial life around and inside them. But some have taken the relationship to an extreme, developing specialized organs that house bacterial symbionts and ...

The Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) has a unique symbiotic relationship with the bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri, which colonize a special light organ in the squid's mantle.
