A live juvenile Hawaiian Bobtail Squid (1-2 mm wide) captured at 5x Magnification in salt water. The blue and yellow color in the background was produced from a VISA credit card placed out-of-focus behind the specimen, which depicts Starry Night (ironically) by Van Gogh. - See more at: review.wizehive.com/voting/view/nsfvizziesgallery/27425/3...
Description
This juvenile Hawaiian Bobtail squid is just one in a series of 5 images and short films, which were captured in order to understand the symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, and the bioluminescent bacterium, Vibrio fischeri. The squid has complex external and internal organs that separate Vibrio fischeri from ocean water and position the bacterium throughout its' body. Considering that Hawaiian Bobtails are nocturnal, the bioluminescent bacterium are believed to disguise the squid from predation by mimicking the soft, scintillating glow of star light.
Intended Audience
Researchers in Molecular Cell Biology and other individuals researching the affects of symbiosis.
Purpose of Entry
The intended use of this entry is part 1 of 5 themed exhibits to be placed on display at the Connecticut State Natural History Museum, which is located in Storrs, CT at UConn's main campus. Each exhibit contains approximately 5 high-resolution macroscopic and microscopic images of specimens related to natural history.
Scientific Impact
Each of the 5 exhibits showcase the scientific work of 5 academic researchers at the University of Connecticut. They visually and effectively answer a complicated set of interdisciplinary research questions in ways that can be easily understood by students and individuals not having this particular type of expertise.
