New research shows that bioluminescence—a phenomenon in which organisms generate visible light through a chemical reaction—evolved many more times among marine fishes, and likely throughout the entire tree of life, than previously thought. In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE yesterday, scientists from the AMNH and other institutions reveal that bioluminescence evolved 29 times in marine ray-finned fishes and sharks.
“Our findings completely change how we look at the evolution of bioluminescence across all life,” said John Sparks, curator-in-charge of the Museum’s Department of Ichthyology and a co-author of the paper. Click the link in our profile to learn more.
