500 years ago. In the 1600s, researchers began to discover exactly how animals make their own light. But since different animals use different substances, scientists still don't know precisely how every bioluminescent species makes light. In some cases, researchers haven't figured...
The vaquita is the world's rarest sea mammal and one of the most endangered animals in the world. Can dragon fish see in the dark? Deep-sea dragonfish are the only fish that can generate and see red light, which they use to detect prey and sneak up on them, whilst remaining invisible...
Viperfish have bioluminescent lures to attract prey, but they've also got photophores along the sides of their body that can light up and confuse would-be predators. They live in the deep waters of the midnight and twilight zones of the oceans and are found around submarine calderas, but w...
The first is the emission of chemicals by the female sharks. These chemicals signal to males in the surrounding area that the female is ready to mate. These chemicals are calledpheromonesand are common in other animals as well. As many sharks live alone and not close to other sharks in the...
You might be wondering why it’s so important for us to explore these uncharted regions of the ocean. Well, here are a few reasons: Marine Biodiversity: The ocean is home to a wide variety of plants and animals, many of which we haven’t even discovered yet. By exploring new areas, ...

Some animals are prone to breed more, others to breed less. Bioluminescent species are suddenly faced with tireless competitors: artificial lights. The larger impacts of ecological disruptions such as these aren't always clear to researchers, but considering how delicate the planet's ecosystem is, ...
