Art often imitates life, and sometimes animals do, too. The enormous jellyfish seen in this YouTube video bears a striking resemblance to the villain from “Star Wars,” but it predates the series by ...

After that, anglerfishes rapidly diversified in the 'midnight' (bathypelagic) zone of the oceans, which is likely a result of the ecological opportunities afforded by this new habitat.

Then there’s the bathypelagic zone, also called the midnight zone, and, beneath that, the abyssopelagic zone — as in, the abyssal zone — that extends from 13,100 feet (4,000 meters) to ...

This range is known as the Bathypelagic Zone or midnight zone. According to the NOAA, the temperature there remains constant – around 39 degrees – because sunlight is unable to penetrate water ...

The research, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, uncovers how these enigmatic creatures defied the odds to diversify in the harsh, resource-poor environment of the bathypelagic zone — part ...
