Dinoflagellates light up whenever the water ... several types of worms, and sea cucumbers. There are luminous siphonophores—sinister, stringlike predators with long, stinging tentacles that ...

The ‘Sea of Stars’ is a recurring natural phenomenon ... The lights are the result of moving bioluminescent plankton, called dinoflagellates. When these are agitated, they emit a blue-green ...

A meter net will collect samples of bioluminescent plankton — it's lowered to a depth of around 600 feet — and the vessel's ...

Excess energy is then released as light without generating any heat. In the deep-sea environment, lack of sunlight has driven the development of bioluminescence as a primary means of communication for ...

This suggests that dinoflagellates simultaneously reduce grazer encounter rates and increase chemical defense levels in the presence of copepod grazers. Media replacement experiments showed that the ...
