How to stand out to a mate - Flash colour of Photinus fireflies maximizes signal contrast against ambient light

Judson Stricklin, Roland Kimsey, Simran Shah, Mrunal Nazare, James Masters, Kathrin F. Stanger‐Hall

This study tests the contrast hypothesis by analyzing ambient light spectra and male flash spectra of Photinus fireflies to show that their flash color maximizes contrast against the background during peak activity.

The role of pigments in light color variation of the firefly Photinus pyralis

Margot Popecki, Stephanie A. Archer‐Hartmann, Parastoo Azadi, Rebekah L. Rogers, John P. Wares, Kathrin F. Stanger‐Hall

The paper investigates whether pigments contribute to light color variation in fireflies, finding that ommochrome and pterin pigments may filter luciferase light but no significant gene expression differences were found between color variants.

Antennal sensilla diversity in diurnal and nocturnal fireflies (Coleoptera, Lampyridae)

Yelena M. Pacheco, Ethan Mann, Luiz F. L. Da Silveira, S. M. Bybee, Marc A. Branham, Joseph V. McHugh, Kathrin F. Stanger‐Hall

This study examines antennal sensilla diversity in diurnal and nocturnal fireflies, finding that chemoreceptor counts and densities differ between sexes and activity patterns, while mechanoreceptors are conserved.

Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

Timothy R. Fallon, Sarah E. Lower, Ching-Ho Chang, Manabu Bessho‐Uehara, Gavin J. Martin, Adam J. Bewick, Megan G. Behringer, Humberto Debat, Isaac Wong, John C. Day, Anton Suvorov, Christian J. Silva, Kathrin F. Stanger‐Hall, David W. Hall, Robert J. Schmitz, , Jing‐Ke Weng

The paper generates genomes for three bioluminescent beetles to study the genetic basis of bioluminescence and finds at least two independent evolutionary origins of the trait.
