First Evidence of Fluorescence in Bornean Terrestrial and Freshwater Crabs
ABSTRACT We report the first case of fluorescence in four species of terrestrial and freshwater crabs from Sarawak, Borneo. We observed blue fluorescence in all the individuals examined. This study provides detailed descriptions of the fluorescence characteristics across different species contributing to understanding this phenomenon in Decapoda.
