Sea Fireflies Spew Mucus w/ Chemical Glow to Lure Mates & Avoid Being Eaten

From a Feb. 7, 2019 article by CAROLYN WILKE in The Scientist.

N.M. Hensley et al., “Phenotypic evolution shaped by current enzyme function in the bioluminescent courtship signals of sea fireflies,” P Roy Soc B, doi:10.1098/rspb.2018.2621, 2019.

In the above picture, taken by TREVOR J. RIVERS, an ostracod leaves a swirling trail of light. In the top-left of this photo, the ostracod is trapped in a fish’s mouth and the bioluminescence moves through the fish’s gills and into the water.

Nah. He probably just thinks he has crabs because of all that meth he's been doing lately.

Is this the thread that is hogging everyone's dubs?

Yes. Scabs will always be here to take your union jobs.

Why make this about politics?
You're positively glowing.

Ha ha.
I stole your dubs.

What is going on in here?

I heard it was the dubs thread.

It isn't.

Then explain those dubs.

Faces of meth?

Im new here. I am killcen's daughter. He told me about this chatroom. My father has a meth problem and some personal psychological demons to deal with. He is being admitted to a special hospital that specializes in helping people with his particular problem. Please pray for my father, that Jesus might cure his mind. Thankyou.

No.

this chatroom is fun, but weird. how do i LIKE someone here?

You don't.
That would defeat the entire purpose.
Nobody likes anybody around here. It just works that way. Don't ask my why. If you don't like it you can always SAGE! A Sage is the same as a down vote here.

I heard that meth isn't even a real "problem" for anybody! I mean not a serious problem, like religion is.

I thought sage was just to reply without bumping an article?

That's what you get for thinking.
We don't do much of that around here either.

You don't say!

Actually, I do.
in case you missed the memo

Send me reminder that Elvis Presley fans don't love Elvis because of his music necessarily.

They love him because he was Elvis

cheeky bump

You are a fucking idiot. Go ahead and surround yourself with false rumors and accusations, typical for average morons to do anyway.

Meanwhile, Killcen is still spreading the REAL News over here:

You should try Xanax. I heard it'll help bring you down off the Meth Buzz.

Come on, Johnny..
You know you want to head on over where told you to..

It is also very comfy, just like this bioluminescent mucus-drenched one is!

Oops! I meant

This is a better thread.

I agree.
