Summary:
A sloppy light system may be just what a squid needs to hide from predators. Bioluminescent cells in some glass squid work in a surprisingly inefficient way - leaking a lot of light rather than fully channeling it, a new study suggests. Glass squid have largely transparent bodies, helpful for inconspicuous swimming in deep open water. Marine predators often scan the waters above them for the telltale silhouettes of prey blocking sunlight, but theres little to betray a glass squid - except for a few notable features such as the shadow-making eyes on its head.
"Squid Stays Hidden by Leaking Light" is from the July 9, 2016 issue of Science News.
