Abstract excerpt

Bioluminescent organisms have developed extraordinary adaptations to produce light using a luciferin-luciferase reaction, fulfilling various ecological functions such as predator evasion, prey attraction, and intraspecies communication. Although the earliest record in the marine environment dates back some 540 million years, the evolutionary origins of this phenomenon remain largely unknown in most species. In...
