SUMMARY:Triggering light emission by mechanical stimulation: behaviour of 
 a dinoflagellate - Antoine Dode (École Polytechnique)
DTSTART:20180807T120000Z

CONTACT:Anne Herrmann
DESCRIPTION:Bioluminescence in nature is a long-reported phenomenon which 
 can create an impressive illumination of the sea. Dinoflagellates are plan
 kton and some of them exhibit bioluminescence when disturbed. In this talk
  we will focus on the Pyrocystis lunula\, a croissant-shaped dinoflagellat
 e. We will discuss its response to mechanical stimulation applied by a flo
 w in terms of light emission. The behaviour of this alga has been investig
 ated combining computations and experiments.\n
