Bioluminescence and environmental light drive the visual evolution of deep-sea shrimp (Oplophoroidea)
Abstract Light functions as the universal language in the deep sea (>200 m). Both bioluminescent emissions and downwelling light sources dimly illuminate the water column and can drive sensory system evolution. In pelagic environments, vertically migrating animals can experience drastic changes t...
