Light organ photosensitivity in deep-sea shrimp may suggest a novel role in counterillumination. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
Extraocular photoreception, the ability to detect and respond to light outside of the eye, has not been previously described in deep-sea invertebrates.

The presence of lateral photophores correlates with increased speciation in deep-sea bioluminescent sharks [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
The vast majority of species within the lanternshark genus Etmopterus harbour complex luminescent markings on their flanks, whose functional significance has long remained obscure.

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF A CEPHALOPOD PHOTOPHORE. II. IRIDOPHORES AS REFLECTORS AND TRANSMITTERS.

The Biological Bulletin, 1974
The iridophores of one type of photophore of the deep sea squid, Pterygioteuthis microlampas were examined with the electron microscope and four different types were found. Three of these types have not been previously described.

Preliminary Ecological Data on the Cocco's Lanternfish Lobianchia gemellarii (Cocco, 1838) (Osteichthyes: Myctophidae) in Mediterranean With New Records in the Northern Ionian Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This paper presents preliminary ecological data on the Cocco's lanternfish Lobianchia gemellarii (Cocco, 1838) (Osteichthyes: Myctophidae) in the Central Mediterranean and its first records from the northern Ionian Sea. This study also provides information and a new contribution to the knowledge on the role of the species in the Mediterranean marine ...

Unlocking the Depths: Use of a Trait-Based Approach to Reveal the Diversity of Foraging Strategies in a Deep-Pelagic Fish Community. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The deep‐pelagic fish community showed differences in functional strategies along the depth gradient. Epipelagic species exhibited significant trait convergence with traits adapted to the prey‐tracking strategy, while bathypelagic species exhibited significantly higher functional richness values than expected at random.

Diazirines Beyond Photoaffinity Labeling: A Comprehensive Overview of Applications in Biological Sciences, Materials Chemistry, and NMR-Spectroscopy. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Diazirines are three‐membered, nitrogen‐containing heterocycles that decompose under light or heat to generate carbenes. For the past two decades, they have served mainly as minimally invasive tags in photoaffinity labeling (PAL). More recently, their value as versatile carbene precursors has been recognized.

Bioluminescence of the Largest Luminous Vertebrate, the Kitefin Shark, Dalatias licha: First Insights and Comparative Aspects

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Bioluminescence has often been seen as a spectacular yet uncommon event at sea but considering the vastness of the deep sea and the occurrence of luminous organisms in this zone, it is now more and more obvious that producing light at depth must play an ...

Glow on Sharks: State of the Art on Bioluminescence Research

Oceans, 2021
This review presents a synthesis of shark bioluminescence knowledge. Up to date, bioluminescent sharks are found only in Squaliformes, and specifically in Etmopteridae, Dalatiidae and Somniosidae families.

Form identification of purple flying squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis) based on gladius morphology

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stock structure information is an important part of bases for understanding the dynamics of cephalopod populations. Purpleback flying squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis is an abundant and highly productive species in tropical and subtropical waters of the ...

Morphological and immunohistochemical study on photophores of Gonostoma denudatum Rafinesque, 1810 (Fam: Gonostomatidae)

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti - Classe di Scienze Medico-Biologiche, 2021
A preliminary contribution to the knowledge of the photophore structure of the mesopelagic fish Gonostomadenudatum from the central Mediterranean Sea (Strait of  Messina) is given by means of a structural and immunohistochemical study, to describe the ...
