In fact, the vast majority of bioluminescent organisms evolved in order to provide light in deep sea marine ecosystems—either to light up prey or as a warning against predators(捕食者)—far below sunlight39。s reach into the water column.Humans have been putting natural bioluminescence to work for a while—19th century coal miners would trap fireflies(instead of openflame candles or l
