On January 15, an article was published in Scientific reports showing that chameleons can glow under UV light. Can you tell me more about how these chameleons might be using this fluorescence? A surprising number of animals fluoresce. Scorpions in particular have been known to fluoresce for a very long time, but why they fluoresce is an unanswered question, just like in chameleons. The different mating rituals of chameleons are surprisingly varied actually, but this has not been well studied.
