New research has revealed that biofluorescence in marine fishes is far more ancient and widespread than previously believed. Studies show that this glowing trait has evolved independently more than ...

Two new studies led by Museum researchers shapes our knowledge about the origins and scope of fish biofluorescence—the flashy phenomenon in which light is absorbed, transformed, and emitted as a ...

The researchers found that biofluorescence evolved more than 100 times in marine teleosts and is estimated to date back about 112 million years, with the first instance occurring in eels.

Unadon, short for unagi donburi, is a traditional and beloved Japanese dish of grilled unagi (eel) fillets with a sweet-and-savory sauce served over a bed of steamed rice.

Close to 100 per cent of the 257 items analysed had genetic traces of threatened freshwater eel species. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The birds-of-paradise evolved optimal brilliance to communicate something, and that something is their own attractiveness: Like so many of their striking features, biofluorescence seems to help them ...

The API failed to deliver the resource. They're a spectacular sight in sunshine or shadow! Here's how birds of paradise use biofluorescence to their advantage. 🪶🟢 ...

Researchers discovered that 37 out of 45 known species of birds of paradise possess biofluorescence, emitting green or yellow-green light when exposed to blue or UV light.

Biofluorescence happens when high-energy wavelengths of light, like those on the UV spectrum are absorbed and then remitted at a lower wavelength, typically greens, yellows, oranges, and reds.

New research reports, for the first time, the widespread occurrence of biofluorescence in birds-of-paradise. The study, based on specimens collected since the 1800s, finds biofluorescence in 37 of ...
