The National Science Foundation spent $82,525 on a
one-year grant to study on the self-defense of bioluminescent
millipedes.“Animals use myriad strategies to avoid predation -- camouflage,
spines, and toxins are among a few. Animals that are toxic, inedible, or
otherwise noxious often advertise this by a warning signal, for example the
yellow and black stripes of a yellowjacket or the rattle of a snake,” the award
abstract said.“Bioluminescent millipedes, known only from California, are
defended with cyanide and their green-blue glow is hypothesized to be a
nocturnal warning signal,” the award abstract added. - See more at:
