Marine Bioluminescence: Measurement by a Classical Light Sensor and Related Foraging Behavior of a Deep Diving Predator
Abstract Bioluminescence is produced by a broad range of organisms for defense, predation or communication purposes. Southern elephant seal ( SES ) vision is adapted to low‐intensity light with a peak sensitivity, matching the wavelength emitted by myctophid species, one of the main preys of female...

Abstract Bioluminescence is produced by a broad range of organisms for defense, predation or communication purposes.
