Light is a primary driver of visual evolution in shrimp, according to new FIU research published this week in Nature ...

Study Finds That Birds-of-Paradise Are Biofluorescent Research suggests that "hidden" phenomenon provides enhanced signaling for hierarchy and courtship.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute scientists have discovered Bathydevius caudactylus, a new species of glowing sea slug that lives deep in the ocean.

Scientists found deep-sea shrimp evolved special vision to detect bioluminescent light and navigate their world.

Many animals can glow in the dark. Fireflies famously blink on summer evenings. But most animals that light up are found in the depths of the ocean. In a new study, scientists report that deep-sea ...

As I mentioned, many animals that live in the open ocean have evolved to be transparent, because this makes them harder to see. But if you are transparent and you eat something glowing ...

Although most of us are familiar with fireflies, the majority of glowing animals actually reside in the depths of the ocean. Native to Australia and New Zealand, these gnats in their larval ...

Deep Dive features sculptures, and bioluminescent-inspired paintings of sea creatures. TIMS invites the public to see them ...
