SOCIAL SIGNALING VIA BIOLUMINESCENT BLINKS DETERMINES NEAREST NEIGHBOR DISTANCE IN SCHOOLS OF FLASHLIGHT FISH ANOMALOPS KATOPTRON

Social signaling via bioluminescent blinks determines nearest neighbor distance in schools of flashlight fish Anomalops katoptron

Abstract The schooling flashlight fish Anomalops katoptron can be found at dark nights at the water surface in the Indo-Pacific.Schools are characterized by bioluminescent blink patterns of sub-ocular light organs densely-packed with bioluminescent, symbiotic bacteria.Here we analyzed how blink patterns of A.katoptron Latte Mugs are used in social
