Reef fish at depths below ten meters dwell in an environment lacking ambient red light, yet some species generate red fluorescent pigmentation patterns that indicate a potential mechanism for attraction signals or communication between closely related species.
BMC Ecology 2008, 8 :14
In spring and summer Canadian wolves feed on deer, but wolf fecal and hair samples reveal that in autumn their feeding preference shifts to salmon as spawning salmon numbers increase, irrespective of the availability of deer.
