Periodic Tables: Durham's Science Cafe The open ocean, which comprises over 99.5% of the earth’s liveable space, is an exceptionally difficult place to hide. The background is featureless, predation is intense, and there is nothing to cower behind. Complete invisibility is usually the only successful strategy.

Join Dr. Sönke Johnsen for a colorful presentat...ion on how animals in the open ocean have evolved a number of beautiful tricks that are absent or rare in other environments.


Speaker: Dr. Sönke Johnsen, Associate Professor of Biology, Duke University
