Abstract

Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence. In this review, we focus on describing the occurrence of fluorescence in marine animals and the behavioural and physiological functions of fluorescent molecules based on experimental approaches. These biological functions of fluorescence range from prey and symbiont attraction, photoprotection, photoenhancement, stress mitigation, mimicry, and aposematism to inter- and intraspecific communication. We provide a comprehensive list of marine taxa that utilise fluorescence, including demonstrated effects on behavioural or physiological responses. We describe the numerous known functions of fluorescence in anthozoans and their underlying molecular mechanisms. We also highlight that other marine taxa should be studied regarding the functions of fluorescence. We suggest that an increase in research effort in this field could contribute to understanding the capacity of marine animals to respond to negative effects of climate change, such as rising sea temperatures and increasing intensities of solar irradiation.

海洋动物荧光分子的多样性和功能。
对海洋动物中荧光的研究主要集中在腔肠动物中,但在许多不同的门类中都有发现,如无脊椎动物门、甲壳动物门、软体动物门和脊索动物门。虽然已经发现了许多荧光蛋白和分子,但有关荧光生物功能的信息却很少。在本综述中,我们将基于实验方法,重点描述荧光在海洋动物中的出现以及荧光分子的行为和生理功能。荧光的这些生物功能包括吸引猎物和共生体、光保护、光增强、减轻压力、拟态和拟态,以及种间和种内交流。我们提供了一份利用荧光的海洋分类群的综合清单,包括已证实的对行为或生理反应的影响。我们描述了荧光在无脊椎动物中的众多已知功能及其潜在的分子机制。我们还强调应研究其他海洋类群的荧光功能。我们认为,加大该领域的研究力度有助于了解海洋动物应对气候变化负面影响的能力,如海水温度上升和太阳辐射强度增加。

期刊介绍: Biological Reviews is a scientific journal that covers a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. It publishes several review articles per issue, which are aimed at both non-specialist biologists and researchers in the field. The articles are scholarly and include extensive bibliographies. Authors are instructed to be aware of the diverse readership and write their articles accordingly. The reviews in Biological Reviews serve as comprehensive introductions to specific fields, presenting the current state of the art and highlighting gaps in knowledge. Each article can be up to 20,000 words long and includes an abstract, a thorough introduction, and a statement of conclusions. The journal focuses on publishing synthetic reviews, which are based on existing literature and address important biological questions. These reviews are interesting to a broad readership and are timely, often related to fast-moving fields or new discoveries. A key aspect of a synthetic review is that it goes beyond simply compiling information and instead analyzes the collected data to create a new theoretical or conceptual framework that can significantly impact the field. Biological Reviews is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Diseases, Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, AgBiotechNet, AGRICOLA Database, GeoRef, Global Health, SCOPUS, Weed Abstracts, and Reaction Citation Index, among others.
