Bioluminescence in the Larval Stages of Beetles: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Bioluminescence is a fascinating phenomenon that is widely studied in adult beetles, but relatively little is known about bioluminescence in the larval stages of these insects. This paper presents a comparative study of bioluminescence in the larval stages of several beetle species, including their ecology, behavior, and the molecular mechanisms involved in light production. Our results provide important insights into the role of bioluminescence in the development and survival of beetle larvae.
