Recently, a new study traced the origin of bioluminescence among the Octocorallia group of Anthozoa, animals including corals and sea anemones. Researchers found evidence of bioluminescence likely ...

"Milky seas” are one of the rarest reported forms of bioluminescence. A new scientific database may finally reveal the secrets of this ghostly phenomenon. Satellite imagery of visible light for ...

Just as in all bioluminescent organisms ... belong to a larger group called Anthozoa that includes corals and sea anemones. The zoologists looked for which species generate biological light ...

Evolving roughly 27 different times in the long history of fish, bioluminescence—the biological production of light—is one of the flashier survival tools used for luring prey, communication ...

All this light is bioluminescence—visible light made by living creatures. Rare on land, bioluminescent organisms are common in the oceans, particularly in the upper 3,000 feet. This is a world ...

In the world of bioluminescence, it’s common for organisms to get luciferin—the small molecule needed to make light—from their diet. Scientists have hypothesized that bioluminescent fish make their ...

Evolving roughly 27 different times in the long history of fish, bioluminescence -- the biological production of light -- is one of the flashier survival tools used for luring prey, communication ...

"Tonight, the bioluminescence was obvious," he said. Using night mode on his phone, Quintanilla's son, Rory, captured the brilliant island located just before the second bend of the pier around 9: ...

Bioluminescent bacteriaObservers often describe milky seas as similar in color to glow-in-the-dark stars put on the ceilings of children’s bedrooms. The glow the phenomenon emits has been ...

They vomit brightness. They smear light on their enemies. Bioluminescence, Widder believes, is the most common, and most eloquent, language on earth, and it’s informing fields from biomedicine ...

This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence. Bioluminescent organisms produce and radiate light. There are thousands of bioluminescent ...
