P.301 2nd paragraph: "In many luminous organisms light emission occurs as flashes of ~100 ms duration, and sometimes as trains or bursts of such pulses (primary sources). Such flashes are known to be of functional importance in some species, either offensively, defensively, or in communication (ref 3). Cellular control mechanisms may be involved in turning on or off the biochemical systems (luciferin-luciferase) directly responsible for the light emission (ref 4)." |
