Visual perception of light organ patterns in deep‐sea shrimps and implications for conspecific recognition

Abstract Darkness and low biomass make it challenging for animals to find and identify one another in the deep sea. While spatiotemporal variation in bioluminescence is thought to underlie mate recognition for some species, its role in conspecific recognition remains unclear. The deep‐sea shrimp gen...
