title: Camouflage: Being Invisible in the Open Ocean.
abstract: Animals inhabiting the open ocean often conceal themselves by being highly transparent, but this transparency is compromised by light that is scattered and reflected from the body surface. New research shows that some midwater crustaceans use antireflection coatings to enhance their invisibility.
