乌贼、章鱼和乌贼等海洋生物可以利用光的散射、吸收、反射和折射等多种光学效应在不同的水下环境中快速伪装。他们可以做到这一点与精致的控制和一小部分的第二-两个特征，表明分布，皮内感觉，和信号成分。然而，尽管在这个领域进行了数十年的研究，但从离散元件到互连模块，调节颜色和颜色变化的基本生物化学，电气和机械控制仍然没有完全理解。这种观点突出了头足类动物皮肤的生化分析的关键进展，并讨论了头足类动物眼透镜和皮肤之间的成分连接，也可能有助于信号转导伪装过程中的功能。
Cephalopods, induding squid, octopus, and cuttlefish, can rapidly camouflage in different underwater environments by employing multiple optical effects including light scattering, absorption, reflection, and refraction. They can do so with exquisite control and within a fraction of a second-two features that indicate distributed, intra-dermal sensory, and signaling components. However, the fundamental biochemical, electrical, and mechanical controls that regulate color and color change, from discrete elements to interconnected modules, are still not fully understood despite decades of research in this space. This perspective highlights key advancements in the biochemical analysis of cephalopod skin and discusses compositional connections between cephalopod ocular lenses and skin with features that may also facilitate signal transduction during camouflage.
