Fish biofluorescence evolved independently over 100 times in evolutionary history![]() Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 23, 2025 New research from the American Museum of Natural History has uncovered that fish biofluorescence-a phenomenon where organisms absorb light and emit it as a different color-has independently evolved over 100 times in the past 112 million years. This widespread trait is especially prevalent among species inhabiting coral reefs. Published in Nature Communications and PLOS One, the studies reveal that biofluorescent marine fishes exhibit a far broader range of colors than previously documented, emitti ... read more |
