Interesting research. The article suggests there is a reason for animal fluorescence. Might be true. It is also possible the materials just happen to fluoresce. 

Thanks for sharing,

Its a paper that's got plenty of press, but certainly isn't beyond critical questioning!

 

@Andrea B. would you do some admin magic and correct my spelling of the title ?
