Fluorescence, the absorption of short-wavelength electromagnetic radiation reemitted at
longer wavelengths, has been suggested to play several biological roles in metazoans. This …

Biofluorescence is the absorption of electromagnetic radiation (light) at one wavelength
followed by its reemission at a lower energy and longer wavelength by a living organism …

Biofluorescence has been detected in several nocturnal-crepuscular organisms from
invertebrates to birds and mammals. Biofluorescence in mammals has been detected across …

Biofluorescence is widespread in the natural world, but only recently discovered in terrestrial
vertebrates. Here, we report on the discovery of iridophore-based, neon-green flourescence …

Naturally occurring fluorescence has been observed in multiple species ranging from
bacteria to birds. In macroscopic animals such as birds, fluorescence provides a visual …

The occurrence of biofluorescence across Mammalia is an area of active study. We
examined three specimens of the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) from Tasmania and …

In this paper we present information on fluorescent frogs that will be of use to interested
researchers. We describe practical details and provide new data on the phenomenon in …

The mysterious world of biofluorescence in terrestrial ecosystems is mesmerizing. Though
not as ubiquitous as in the ocean, it is not a rare phenomenon on land. Fluorescence occurs …

Fluorescence of visible wavelengths under ultraviolet (UV) light has been previously
detected in a wide range of birds, reptiles, and amphibians and a few marsupial mammals …

Camouflage patterns prevent detection and/or recognition by matching the background,
disrupting edges, or mimicking particular background features. In variable habitats, however …
