Aequorea victoria, also sometimes called the crystal jelly, is a bioluminescent hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa, that is found off the west coast of North America.. The species is best known as the source of aequorin (a photoprotein), and green fluorescent protein (GFP); two proteins involved in bioluminescence.
Zooxanthellae (/ ˌ z oʊ ə z æ n ˈ θ ɛ l iː /; sg. zooxanthella) is a colloquial term for single-celled dinoflagellates that are able to live in symbiosis with diverse marine invertebrates including demosponges, corals, jellyfish, and nudibranchs.
Pelagia noctiluca is a jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae and the only currently recognized species in the genus Pelagia. [1] It is typically known in English as the mauve stinger, [3] [4] but other common names are purple-striped jelly (causing potential confusion with Chrysaora colorata), [5] purple stinger, purple people eater, [6] purple jellyfish, luminous jellyfish and night-light ...
That's the idea behind Govee's Permanent Outdoor Light kit, which is available in 50-and 100-foot configurations (for $200 and $300, respectively). I recently installed one of the latter on my ...
In its totality, the rhopalial nervous system is involved in deduction of the sensation of light (the complexity of which approaches visual processing in some species) and in spatial-behavioral control; because the sensory cells of both sight and physical touch are located within such proximity, studies have explored how related and potentially ...
Like other hydrozoans, some siphonophores emit light to attract and attack prey. While many sea animals produce blue and green bioluminescence , a siphonophore in the genus Erenna was only the second life form found to produce a red light (the first one being the scaleless dragonfish Chirostomias pliopterus ).
[11] [12] [15] These marine models, hailed as "an artistic marvel in the field of science and a scientific marvel in the field of art," [16] were a great improvement on previous methods of presenting such creatures: drawings, pressing, photographs and papier-mâché or wax models. [9] [17] and exactly what Prof. Reichenbach needed. Moreover ...
