答疑：心月伊然Living things of all kinds have qualities that help them to survive. One example is the ability of some animals to create light to find food, or avoid being eaten or, in some cases, to identify a mate. A new exhibit in New York explores this ability, known as bioluminescence. The exhibit, called "Creatures of Light," can be seen at the American Museum of Natural History. It shows jellyfish that produce a greenish light or glow. It also includes anglerfish whose lantern-like lights hang from their foreheads.
Museum Provost Michael Novacek says he is interested in the bioluminescent creatures that live deep in the ocean.
"They are probably the most inventive of all of the bioluminescent creatures because they have to be. Because it's totally dark. So there's probably where the greatest potential for discovery is, too. There are so many things down there that we've not even described."
Surprisingly, up to 90% of the areas where living things can survive is underwater. Most of the animals that live in the water below depths of 700 meters are bioluminescent. That is where the anglerfish and hatchetfish live.各种生物都有其赖以生存的本领。举个例子，有些动物可以通过发光来寻找食物或者避免自己被吃掉，亦或在某种情况下，确定配偶。纽约最新的一个展览会就探讨了这种关于生物发光的现象。本次展览会在美国自然历史博物馆举办，被称为“生物之光”。它展示了能产生绿色光或其他颜色的光的水母，还有在额头上像悬挂了灯笼的琵琶鱼。
博物馆馆长迈克尔·诺瓦说他对生活在深海中的发光生物感兴趣。
“它们可能是最别出心裁的发光生物了，因为在完全黑暗的深海里他们需要光亮。所以那里也是最有可能发现发光生物的地方。许多生活在那儿的东西我们甚至都不曾见过。”
让人惊讶的是，生物能够存活的地方约90%都是在水下的。而大多数生活在水下700米的动物都会发光。琵琶鱼和银斧鱼就生活在那里。
