"Bioluminescence may be the most common communication on the planet; says Edith Widder of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution in Florida. In her view the vast majority of marine organisms-and 99 percent of the biosphere is marine-are bioluminescent. Their signals warn predators, seek help, or get attention, as in these jellyfish, shown with lights both off and on. Florida Atlantic University.
