| The chemiluminescent reactions found in living organisms are called bioluminescence. |
| The relatively large shear forces that stimulate dinoflagellate bioluminescence are higher than typical levels of oceanic turbulence. |
| We are cautioned against confusing bioluminescence with fluorescence and phosphorescence. |
| Indeed, the presence of bioluminescence explains several otherwise paradoxical characteristics of mesopelagic body coloration. |
| Dinoflagellate bioluminescence differs biochemically from that of other major luminescent groups. |
| Most studies that report in vivo bioluminescence emission spectra or describe the color of bioluminescence only deal with the adults. |
