Evolutionary convergence provides natural opportunities to investigate how, when, and why
novel traits evolve. Many convergent traits are complex, highlighting the importance of …

Bioluminescence—ie, the emission of visible light by living organisms—is defined as a
biochemical reaction involving, at least, a luciferin substrate, an oxygen derivative, and a …

Bioluminescence is a widespread phenomenon that has evolved multiple times across the
tree of life, converging among diverse fauna and habitat types. The ubiquity of …

This review presents a synthesis of shark bioluminescence knowledge. Up to date,
bioluminescent sharks are found only in Squaliformes, and specifically in Etmopteridae …

Bioluminescence is the production of visible light by living organisms thanks to a chemical
reaction, implying the oxidation of a substrate called luciferin catalyzed by an enzyme, the …

Bioluminescence in echinoderms has been known since the early 19th century. Of the four
luminous classes known, Crinoidea is the least studied, with only five bioluminescent …

Bioluminescence, the ability of organisms to produce visible light, has intrigued scientists for
centuries. Studies have examined bioluminescence, using a wide range of approaches and …

Bioluminescence, the ability of living organisms to emit visible light, is an important
ecological feature for many marine species. To fulfil the ecological role (defence, offence, or …

Bioluminescence, or the ability of a living organism to generate visible light, occurs as a
result of biochemical reaction where enzyme, known as a luciferase, catalyzes the oxidation …

Bioluminescence is the production of visible light by an organism. This phenomenon is
particularly widespread in marine animals, especially in the deep sea. While the …
