On the morphology of elytra as luminescent organs in scale-worms (Polychaeta, Polynoidae)
2009
Zoosymposia
Polynoid polychaetes are common marine invertebrates worldwide that are characterized by bearing series of paired elytra attached to dorsal prominences (the elytrophores) arising from the notopodia, and whose dorsal surface is usually ornamented with different papillae (usually thought to be sensory organs). Upon stimulation, some species of the sub-family Polynoinae are able to emit light flashes from the ventral epithelium of the elytra. This bioluminescence originates in a protein called
