I thought you did a great job explaining about how dinoflagellates are used for the ‘burglar-alarm system.’ You may already know, but the same ‘burglar-alarm system’ is used by sea animals that can emit bioluminescence without consuming dinoflagellates. The emitting of light is caused by a chemical reaction which is then converted into light energy. This makes it possible to divert attention to an animal’s (who can creates light) predator, in effect causing another animal to hunt it leaving the original prey safe. In comparison, it has the same ending effects as when predators consume dinoflagellates but it repels predators in two different ways. But I do have a question; what happens to dinoflagellates after they are consumed by an animal, and that animal is consumed by a predator? Is it a chain reaction making each predator emit light leaving it vulnerable to another predator? <br />I would also like to recommend a TED talk that a woman named Edith Widder gave. She shows evidence that she recorded on camera of the ‘burglar-alarm system’ in effect. Here's the link. <br />http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/edith_widder_glowing_life_in_an_underwater_world.htmlLauren M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08498388069746528521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936081013072410013.post-56308523980034150852011-12-05T13:05:34.664-03:302011-12-05T13:05:34.664-03:30Great pic.

Although this benefits the dino's it is hard to explain why copepods continue to respond to the flashing lights (ie they move towards the dark). Although this doesn't specifically answer your question I would also question why the dino's continue to flash once the prey has escaped. Also, freshwater copepods that don't encounter bioluminescent dino's also don't respond to the flashing lights and simply continue feeding. Thus, this response must be adaptive in some way to the copepod.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054993129757617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936081013072410013.post-25560153801060250102010-06-21T14:38:45.622-02:302010-06-21T14:38:45.622-02:30Al - No sorry I did not.Al - No sorry I did not.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054993129757617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936081013072410013.post-60890109423021841062010-06-20T05:32:41.592-02:302010-06-20T05:32:41.592-02:30That's am elegant experiment and explanation! ...That's am elegant experiment and explanation! <br />But could another aspect of the 'burglar alarm' be that other dinos are warned that a predator is near?
