Marine Bioluminescence

Abstract

Marine bioluminescence has long been studied from isolated perspectives by relatively few investigators. The result has been a fascinating but disconnected and incomplete understanding of the subject, in our view. Our laboratory has worked at several levels of biological organization to attempt to develop a more coherent picture of the processes and significance of bioluminescence in the ocean. The basic concept of our approach has been that the interactions generated by studies at several levels or organization in the same research group is catalytic to the development of new approaches and concepts. An important aspect of the work has been training new PhD level scholars in the subject.
