Study traces bioluminescence back 540 million years in octocorals
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 24, 2024
Bioluminescence, the ability of organisms to emit light, originated in marine invertebrates known as octocorals at least 540 million years ago, a study by Smithsonian scientists indicates. This discovery extends the known timeline of bioluminescence's development in animals by about 300 million years. Published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B on April 23, the study provides new i
