Effects of predator lipids on dinoflagellate defence mechanisms - increased bioluminescence capacity
Abstract Short flashes of blue light (bioluminescence) from dinoflagellates can reduce copepod grazing of light-emitting cells. Other protective strategies against grazing are toxicity, reduced cell chain length and altered swimming patterns in different phytoplankton. Both toxicity and bioluminesce...
