Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua roa e pōhēhē ana ngā pūtaiao ki te take me te āhua o te wherikotanga o ētahi momo harakeke, engari ināianei kei te whakaaro rātau he whakautu pea tā rātau. Te āhua nei e whakaputa ana ētahi kōwhai i te mārama hei kukume i ngā pepeke i te pō, nā reira ka horahia e rātau ō rātau kōwhai kōwhai huri noa. He mea whakamere, ka taea hoki e ngā pūmārō te whakarite i tō rātou kaha ki te karaka o te rā, nā reira ka mārama tonu rātou i te pō. I ako ngā kaipūtaiao i Brazil i te take e tiaho ai ētahi momo kōwhai. I kitea e rātau he āwhina te kaha ki te kukume i ngā pepeke i te pō. Kātahi ka neke atu ēnei mea ora i ō rātou pūngāwerewere ki tētahi atu wāhi. Engari ka taea e ngā kōwhai te whakaweto i te kaha i te awatea. Ko Neonothopanus gardneri te whakaahua. Ko te rangahau, i whakaputaina i roto i te niupepa Current Biology, i arahina e te Whare Wānanga o Sao Paulo. I roto i nga rauropi bioluminescent, ko nga ngeru te mea tino onge, me te iti rawa te mohio. I roto i ngā momo pūngāwerewere neke atu i te 100,000, 71 anake e mōhiotia ana e whakaputa ana i te marama matomato, he tukanga e whakamahi ana i te hāora me te pūngao. I whakaaro ngā kaipūtaiao ka whakaputa rātau i te marama huri noa i te karaka hei hua o tō rātau pūngao, engari i runga anō i ngā whakaaturanga hōu, kāore i pēnei. Ko te pānga e whakaohohia ana e te tauhohenga matū i waenganui i te luciferin, he tae rama, me te whākōkī luciferase. Ka taea te puta i roto i te harore, i roto hoki i te whānuitanga o nga kararehe tae atu ki te jellyfish, squid, scorpions me etahi atu pepeke. Ko te mea pono, e āhua ana kei raro i te mana o tētahi karaka ā-rangi e whakawātea ana e te pāmahana te māramatanga o te harakeke. Mā tēnei taumata whakahaere e 'tiaki pūngao' ai rātau i ngā haora o te awatea e kore ai rātau e hiahia ki te tipu. I te pō, ka kukume te wherikotanga matomato i ngā pepeke, tae atu ki ngā pungawerewere, ngārara, pungawerewere me ngā pungawerewere. 'Kei te āhua nei e hanga ana te harore i te marama kia kitea ai e ngā pepeke e taea ai te āwhina i te harore ki te whakanoho i ngā wāhi hou,' te kī a Dr Cassius Stevani o Brazil's Instituto de Química-Universidade de São Paulo. Mā te whakahaere ā-rangi o te bioluminescence e whai hua ake ai te tukanga. 'Ko te tikanga o te whakahaere he mahi urutau mo te bioluminescence,' ka tapiritia e Dr Jay Dunlap o Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine. Tenei te...
I ako ngā kaipūtaiao i Brazil i te take e wherikotanga ai ētahi momo o te harore. I kitea e rātau he āwhina te kaha ki te kukume i ngā pepeke i te pō. Ka nekehia e ēnei mea ora ā rātou pūngāwerewere ki tētahi atu wāhi. Engari ka taea e ngā pūngāwerewere te whakaweto i te āheinga i te awatea. 'Kei te maia ahau ki te kii ko te ora i runga i te Ao e whakawhirinaki ana ki nga rauropi penei,' e kii ana tetahi o nga kairangahau, a Dr Stevani.
