Although evident on land, bioluminescent organisms predominate in aquatic environments with only a few groups of terrestrial animals exhibiting the necessary components to generate visible light. These include worms, centipedes, millipedes, fungoidal gnats, but most prevalent of all are the ...
Bioluminescence is the emission of visible light from a cell due to a specific chemical reaction involving the production of a luciferase enzyme, commonly used in preclinical imaging to detect tumor cells in small animals. AI generated definition based on:Advances in Cancer Research,2018 ...

According to Bagnara (1966), Bagnara and Hadley (1974), and Kelsh (2004), pigmentation in animals is achieved by all chromatophore types, including melanophores and iridophores. Additionally, the same authors state that iridophores are pigment reflective cells. On the basis of these description...

unlike the bioluminescence mechanism described so far, is fluorescent. This means that the protein needs to be excited by blue light before emitting its characteristic green light. Since its discovery, GFP has been genetically inserted into various cell types and even animals to shedlighton important...
Hundreds of plants, fungi, and animals can do it. Now scientists think bioluminescence may have evolved 540 million years ago in Earth’s ancient oceans.
Bioluminescence can be found in land and freshwater as well, but the majority of biodiversity (≈75% of genera) evolved in the sea (Paitio & Oba, 2021). Luminous marine animals are either nocturnal species inhabiting coastal waters, or oceanic living in shallow or deep-sea waters (Herring ...
Luminosity among land animals is not associated with any particularhabitat, but almost all these forms are nocturnal. The centipedeOrphaneus,widely distributed in tropical Asia, gives off luminous secretions from each segment. The entire body ofLuminodesmus sequoiae, amillipedefound in the Sierra Nev...
