Animal Signals : Dirty Dancing in the Dark?
(2019) In Current Biology 29(17). p.834-836- Abstract
The use of highly visible body colours as signals during courtship is well known from animals active in brighter light. Now a sexually dimorphic colouration signal has been discovered in a nocturnal moth, suggesting that visual courtship rituals might even occur at night.
