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.

Four #principles for improved #statistical #ecology
"(1) define a focussed #ResearchQuestion, then plan #sampling and #analysis to answer it; (2) develop a #model that accounts for the #distribution and #dependence of your #data; (3) emphasise #EffectSizes to replace #StatisticalSignificance with #EcologicalRelevance; and (4) report your #methods and #findings in sufficient detail so that your research is valid and #reproducible"
