Modern #imagingtechnologies allow more #fluorescence insights in #vertebrates. B. Burriel-Carranza et al. (2026) show that the #granularglands and #epidermis of the #firesalamander produce different #fluorophores, and that such compounds also circulate via the #bloodstream. Fluorescence may have a #communicative function.

It was always a bit of a tense moment for Jacques, but it just was by far the best hot chocolate you could find.

The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is a striking amphibian, known for its black body with bright yellow spots or stripes. Native to European forests, it thrives in moist, shady environments. Its vivid colors warn predators of its toxic skin secretions — a natural defense mechanism.
