pdf 336 8 mb low resolution pdf 14 1 mb fluorescence in pachydactylus rangei following on from our discovery of uv fluorescence in chameleons my colleagues and i searched for fluorescence in other reptiles and amphibians we found bright neon green fluorescence along the flanks of the web footed gecko from namibia pachydactylus rangei with the old team david prötzel martin heß martina schwager and frank glaw we looked into the histology and spectroscopy of this fluorescence this remarkable case of fluorescence amongst the brightest of all vertebrates is produced by a unique mechanism centred around fluorescent iridophores the position of the fluorescence suggests that it may be used in communication across the dunes of the namib but a lot remains to be studied about this bizarre

we discovered that some elements of the heads of many chameleons fluoresce under uv light following this discovery our research group embarked on a mission to study how widespread this phenomenon is the underlying physiology and its potential significance the results of our investigation into the phenomenon were published in scientific reports the fluorescent structures are tubercles of the skull jutting out through thin layers of dermis that are rendered transparent by their thinness and the displacement of all chromatophores these structures are widespread in chameleons and generally appear to be sexually dimorphic and have diagnostic patterning as for an implication and significance the jury is still out read more here prötzel d heß m scherz m d schwager m van t padje a glaw f 2018
