Recent Examples on the Web And the lack of this intelligence—comprehensive data on tides, waves, ocean depths, bioluminescence and underwater topography—was going to cost lives, ships and equipment as the Navy expanded the Pacific campaign. 
Catherine Musemeche, Smithsonian Magazine, 7 July 2022 It was only discovered a little over a decade ago, back in 2007, but the curious sea cucumber has a survival tactic that points to its longtime evolution: bioluminescence to ward off predators. Courtney Linder, Popular Mechanics, 17 Aug. 2022 To help understand why milky seas form, researchers have gotten much better at spotting these swaths of bioluminescence from the skies. K.e.d. Coan, Ars Technica, 30 July 2022 Kenneth Nealson, a microbiologist at the University of Southern California who was not involved in this study, tells Inverse that the bacteria might use bioluminescence to attract fish. 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. Grrlscientist, Forbes, 11 July 2022 Even at the end of episode five, when the Noor pulsates out of him and causes the explosion on the DODC drone, that’s very similar to some of his abilities in the comics and that bioluminescence. Brian Davids, The Hollywood Reporter, 16 July 2022 Some paddlers have also experienced bioluminescence in the nearby Banana River, which flows between Merritt Island and Cape Canaveral.
