Transcriptome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of four species of luminescent beetles
The evolution of bioluminescence has prompted scientific attention to illuminate phylogenetic relationships of luminescent beetles. However, genomic resources are virtually lacking in rhagophthalmids (Rhagophthalmidae) and their related firefly beetles ...

Improved light extraction in the bioluminescent lantern of a Photuris firefly (Lampyridae)
A common problem of light sources emitting from an homogeneous high-refractive index medium into air is the loss of photons by total internal reflection. Bioluminescent organisms, as well as artificial devices, have to face this problem.

Association between shell morphology of micro-land snails (genus Plectostoma) and their predator’s predatory behaviour [PDF]
Predator–prey interactions are among the main ecological interactions that shape the diversity of biological form. In many cases, the evolution of the mollusc shell form is presumably driven by predation.
