An Experimental-numerical Study of Small Scale Flow Interaction with Bioluminescent Plankton
Abstract
Bioluminescence is one of the most cosmopolitan organism behaviors in the marine environment, found in all oceans of the world at all depths. My long-term goals are to understand the hydrodynamic conditions which stimulate bioluminescence, the environmental and physiological factors which regulate the amount of light emission, and ultimately the roles of bioluminescent displays in biological interactions and the structuring of marine communities.
