Sam Zlotnik, Smithsonian Magazine, 22 July 2022 Particularly in the latter case, scientists think that the bioluminescence is driven by quorum sensing, a form of biological signaling that allows bacteria to determine how large and concentrated their species is in an area. K.e.d. Coan, Ars Technica, 30 July 2022 Further, scientists on the USS Wilkes ruled out dinoflagellates as the source of the milky seas bioluminescence.
