Is Mahjong becoming the new Black Jack?

Happening Off Campus: Anglerfish seem to have it all, food and mates. When researching anglerfish, Alex Maile, a biologist has found that their bioluminescent lures have evolved in order for females to attract not just meals, but also mates. Because anglerfish are deep sea inhabitants, it is difficult to observe them in the Wilde. Though, by examining preserved specimens from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Maile was able to get a brief glimpse of their diversity. Maile’s analysis showed that bioluminescent groups are actually diversifying at a higher rate compared to non-bioluminescent ones, evidence which suggests that the fishes’ glowing lures can be linked to how members of different species distinguish between each other and find mates.
