Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of red fluorescent light emission in a cryptic marine fish
TL;DR: This is the first time chromatophore units are found to control fluorescent emission in marine teleost fishes and the discovery of a second mechanism for fluorescence modulation strengthens the view that fluorescence is a relevant and adaptive component of fish colouration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red fluorescence in reef fish: A novel signalling mechanism?

TL;DR: Red fluorescence is widespread among marine fishes and many features indicate that it is used as a private communication mechanism in small, benthic, pair- or group-living fishes, many of these species show quite cryptic colouration in other parts of the visible spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Fluorescent Chromatophore Changes the Level of Fluorescence in a Reef Fish
TL;DR: The discovery of a chromatophore in fishes that regulates the distribution of fluorescent pigments in parts of the skin is described, which is the first description of a stable and natural cytoskeleton-related fluorescence control mechanism in vertebrate cells.
