The bioluminescent bay on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques teems with microscopic life-forms called dinoflagellates, which light up whenever water nearby is disturbed. In the distance ...

We were there because some species of dinoflagellates actually glow from within — a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. And when conditions are right, the ocean’s surface lights up at the slightest ...

The shelters allow dinoflagellates and other bioluminescent creatures to thrive in astonishing numbers. Unlike typical coastlines, these unique environments create the perfect storm for a nightly ...

Visitors can "glow like fireflies" when swimming in this incredible bioluminescent lagoon in the Caribbean, then cap off the ...

As a graduate student, she worked on the membrane biophysics of dinoflagellates, which piqued her interest in bioluminescence, and when her adviser received a grant for a spectrophotometer ...

Hundreds of thousands of bioluminescent dinoflagellates live in each gallon of bay water, and the light show put on by these tiny creatures provide is truly a (natural) wonder to behold.

Bioluminescent organisms produce and radiate light ... Most of these species live in tropical rainforests. Dinoflagellates make light shows on the surface of the ocean. These tiny, single-celled ...

Still, many breathtaking displays happen right at the surface, especially in bays and lagoons where plumes of bioluminescent plankton (dinoflagellates) gather by the millions. These tiny organisms ...

the diminutive dinoflagellates that have a way of lighting up the night. We are, of course, talking about the bioluminescent wonders of the ocean, and the ethereally excellent opportunity to go in ...
