Les radiolaires comme Tuscaridium cygneum, sont incapables de nager. Ils flottent entre deux eaux profondes (de 400 à 2000 mètres).Le squelette externe des radiolaires est à base de silice et porte souvent des sortes de longues épines qui augmentent leur flottabilité.

"Bioluminescent bacteria and the Hawaiian bobtail squid have formed a longstanding mutually beneficial relationship. How the bacteria coordinate their behavior to colonize the squid—through cellular signaling and cues from the environment—is detailed in new study led by Penn State researchers".

I should really print some more fireflies! This shows 3 fireflies (Photinus pyralis, the common eastern or big dipper ) in a field against the night sky. These insects are the most common firefly in NA & they use the light organ on their abdomen to signal potential mates leaving their tell-tale trail of a j-shaped flash pattern. Hence the common name "big dipper firefly". Their twilight glow & flashing light looks quite magical!

It must have worked, the yellow green Sprite of Spring turned into a luciferase lantern and the first few fireflies of the season sent the May 28, 2023 pre 14:23 into the semiosphere of tiny little "quantum dots"

evade predators like birds; it can rapidly metabolize food to produce a flash of heat in the gastrovascular cavity wall. This allows the trapped air balloon to be heated, rapidly expand & rise. To move laterally, the jellyfish employs its tentacles to ride the winds.⁠

As you might expect the Aeolian jellyfish is noctunal. During the day it passively rises as it warms in the sun, spending the heat of the day in the stratosphere, out of reach of predators.

3/n

: I see an fluttering on the floor (an or an or the thing at the end of Episode 8). I reach out for it, and it starts to emit light from a organ on top of its head. Its feathery cast shadows that look like a detailed (and annotated) pen-and-ink of the insect's own head. I get my phone to take a photo, but by then it's stopped emitting any light, and it's become a small spaniel which starts barking at me.
