Ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻepekema ʻepekema ma ka Pakipika ma kahi o ka mokupuni ʻo Solomona ka lōkahi i ka honua a e ʻulaʻula ana i ka uliuli a me ka ʻulaʻula. Hoike ia e National Geographic.

Ua ʻike ʻo Zoologist ʻo ka repinile luminous he ipu moana kai, aia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka pau ʻole. ʻAʻole i ʻike mua ka poʻe ʻepekema i kahi waiwai like ʻole o ka biss. Ua hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopaʻa i ka holoholona i ka biofluorescence - hiki i ke kino ke komo i ka mālamalama a me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ke ʻano māmā.

I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole mau i ʻike i nā mea ʻepekema no ke aha e pono ai nā bisses biofluorescence. Ke ʻōlelo aku nei nā kānaka noiʻi wale nō ka pono o nā māka i ka huki i ka waiwai a i ʻole ke pale aku iā lākou iho i nā ʻenemi, ʻoiai hiki ke kōkua ka pua ʻōmaʻomaʻo iā lākou iā lākou iho e kūleʻa i nā kua o nā puaʻa.

ʻIke ʻia ka holoholona e nā mea loea ʻAmelika ʻo David Gruber, ka mea nāna i hopu i ka holoholona i ke wikiō.

E ʻike pū: ua loaʻa nā kānaka ʻepekema i nā hōʻailona o ke ola ma ke kahua o Jupiter - ʻEulopa

Ma kekahi o nā moʻo ʻo Iupepela, ʻike lāua i ke hōʻoia ʻana i ka hiki ke hoʻohana ʻana i nā haʻawina e hoʻokō ʻia ana me nā pōhaku terestrial.ʻO nā Geologists mai USA a me Kelemania i ʻike hou i nā hōʻike hou o ke ola kahiko i nā pōhaku o ka ʻūhā o ka honua, e waiho ana i kahi hohonu ma lalo o ke kai, a laila e loaʻa ai i kahi hōʻoia hou ka hiki ke ola i ka ola. nā moana kūleʻa kikowaena kikowaena nui e like me ka Europa. Ua hoʻopuka nā kānaka ʻepekema i ka hopena o kā lākou noiʻi ʻana ma ka pūnaewele o ka Oceanographic Institute ma Woods Hole.

Ua ʻike ʻia kēia ʻano ʻepekema ma mua, akā ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe ʻepekema e pili ana i ka waiwai loaʻa o ka biss. Loaʻa kekahi holoholona i ka biofluorescence pololei (hiki i ke kino ke nānā i ka mālamalama a hoʻākāka iā ia i ke ʻano o kahi wax) ʻē aʻe, kahi like me ka bioluminescence - hiki ke nānā pū me ke kōkua o nā mea kemika ma ke ʻano o ka ʻili (a i nā mea make i ka maʻi kūikawā). ʻO kekahi iʻa iʻa iwi, nā hiu, stingrays, a me rotonog ka biofluorescent.

ʻO ka mea ola ʻānō ʻAmelika ʻo David Gruber i loaʻa kona loaʻa ʻana e ala i ka wikiō ma lalo o nā wikiō o nā puhō biofluorescent a me nā coral cefs. I loko o hoʻokahi ʻauʻau lawele, ua hāʻule kahi lau i loko o ke kahua o ka ʻike o ka ʻepekema, a ʻo Gruber i hoʻohālikelike i ka "haʻaʻāina mai kahi i uhi ʻia i loko o ka nui o nā kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā ʻulaʻula." Ua hiki i ka mea noiʻi kiʻi kiʻi i ka holoholona ma kahi kiʻi wikiō.

ʻAʻole maopopo ka ʻepekema ʻepekema i ke kumu e pono ai nā bisses i ka biofluorescence - e kiʻi i ka mea pio, pale iā lākou iho i nā ʻenemi, a i ʻole he mea no ka kamaʻilio. ʻO ka mea maʻamau paha, ʻo ke kukui ʻulaʻula e kōkua i nā ʻōpala e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou iho i ke kūpaʻa o nā kao puaʻa biofluorescent (algae ma ke kaleka o nā reptile e hāʻawi i nā aniani ʻulaʻula).

I ka wā e hiki mai ana, hoʻolālā ʻo Gruber a me kāna mau hoa i ʻike inā ʻike ʻia nā honu i ka biofluorescence, inā loaʻa iā lākou nā pūhui kemika kūpono no nā meaʻai a hōʻola iā lākou iho.

He paʻakikī loa ka noiʻi ʻana i nā biss: i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua emi ka nui o kēia mau ʻano i ka 90 pakeneka. ʻO ka ʻaina hua kālā ma nā ʻāina he nui. Eia nō hoʻi, pau kēia mau holoholona i mea pio i ka ʻili i hoʻohana ʻia no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka iwi make.
