A numerical model of Vibrio fischeri growth and intraspecific competition
E. scolopes is a species of small squids living off the coast of Hawaii. Early in its life cycle, it forms a life-long symbiosis with V. fischeri bacteria. The squids need the bioluminescent bacteria for counter-illumination, a form of camouflage that help the squid blend in with the moonlit ocean surface at night. Scientist also find…
