American Physical Society; 2006 Apr 14;73(4):041916. Available from: https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevE.73.041916 Since bioluminescence has proven to be an energy-expensive process, the evolution of bioluminescence in nature must be of some ecological or biological significance, or must offer some evolutionary advantage to the organism. This is certainly true, because there are multiple incidences of the evolution of bioluminescence, all completely independent from each other, and showing a convergent evolution pattern [ 4, 5]. This trait is found in multiple species spanning different phyla. Some even show symbiotic association with microbes. All these species use this phenomenon for a diverse range of applications including evasion of predators, luring prey and even attracting mates [ 6, 7, 8]. Viviani VR, Bechara EJH.

Wiley Online Library; 2004;19(1):8-20 Dinoflagellates are a group of cosmopolitan protistan organisms [ 29] having an ancient evolutionary history, which form one of the most important groups of phytoplankton in the aquatic ecosystems [ 30]. They are the only photosynthetic organisms that are capable of bioluminescence [ 30], and are the most dominant contributors to the occurrence of this phenomenon in the upper ocean [ 31]. Common phenomena like the “Red Tides” and the bioluminescent bays of Jamaica are because of the dramatic increase in the population of Gonyaulax and other dinoflagellate species. Gonyaulax polyedra is supposedly the most studied dinoflagellate species [ 20]. Other common bioluminescent genera are Ceratium, Protoperidinium, Pyrocystis, Noctiluca, [ 31] and Alexandrianum [ 29]. There have been inaccurate records of bioluminescent dinoflagellate species in the past, because of the presence of both bioluminescent as well as non-bioluminescent strains belonging to the same species. Difference in the ability has been observed even between cells of the same strain [ 31]. Though Puertolas and Vincent both steered away from hyperrealism in their designs for Ruby Gillman, there were some aspects of Ruby’s character (and clothing) design that are hyper-detailed. Bioluminescence’ refers to the phenomenon of chemically induced emission of light (or other electromagnetic radiations) by a living organism. It is a common occurrence frequently observed in various organisms, ranging from simple ones like bacteria to complex animals like deep-sea fish or fireflies, and even some fungi. The first accounts of bioluminescence are found in the works of Dioscorides and even Pliny the Elder, who believed that certain bioluminescent organisms had medicinal properties [ 1]. There are accounts of coal-miners using dried fish skins, and even bottled fireflies as safe light sources [ 2]. Charles Darwin also wrote about the glowing oceans in his travails. E. N. Harvey conducted extensive studies on this phenomenon, and wrote the first detailed account of all natural bioluminescent forms. In biochemical terms, the phenomenon of bioluminescence occurs due to an interaction of a substrate luciferin with an enzyme luciferase. Shimomura et al. were the first to obtain crystalline luciferin from the sea firefly Vargula hilgendorfii [ 3]. Rawat R, Deheyn DD.

We had people on the team who connected to Ruby’s story as an immigrant coming to the U.S., and we had people talking to us about their identity, body issues, anything,” notes Faryn Pearl, co-director with DeMicco. “There were so many people that said at one point, ‘I am Ruby.’ We also had a lot of reactions about parents seeing themselves in Agatha or Grandmamah saying, ‘I learned something about how I should talk to my daughter’ or ‘I've learned something about how I hold on to things.’ The generational aspect has given us an outreach greater than we expected.” LALL AB, SELIGER HH, BIGGLEY WH, LLOYD JE.
