AUCKLAND, New Zealand and LONDON, Dec. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With just days left to run, the world’s first display of an adult male and female T.rex side by side is believed to be the most successful dinosaur exhibition of all time.

Key Points: 
  • Given that New Zealand itself has a population of just 5.1 million inhabitants, the numbers who came to see the two T.rex dinosaurs, named Barbara and Peter, are unprecedented.
  • Female T. rex specimens are rarer still, with Barbara representing only the third ever pregnant Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur skeleton to be discovered.
  • Barbara is 44.7 per cent complete, making her the 8th most complete T. rex in the world.
  • She lived for a long period after the injury, as can be seen by the evidence of a healed metatarsal.

From glowing cats to wombats, fluorescent mammals are much more common than you'd think

But no one knew how common it was among mammals until now.

Key Points: 
  • But no one knew how common it was among mammals until now.
  • Our research, published in Royal Society Open Science today, found this glow – known as fluorescence – is extremely common.
  • Then, we tested if the fluorescence we observed in museum specimens was natural and not caused by preservation methods.

Nightclub lights

    • Nightclub visitors will be familiar with white clothes, or perhaps their gin and tonic, glowing blue under UV light.
    • These chemicals then emit visible light, which is lower-energy electromagnetic radiation.
    • In the case of gin and tonic, this is due to the presence of the quinine molecule in the tonic water.

How often do mammals glow?

    • Our team came together because we were curious about fluorescence in mammals.
    • We wanted to know if the glow reported recently for various species was really fluorescence, and how widespread this phenomenon was.
    • We started with the platypus to see if we could replicate the previously reported fluorescence.

Mammals in dazzling lights

    • Fluorescence is clearly common and widely distributed among mammals.
    • Nocturnal mammals were indeed more fluorescent, while aquatic species were less fluorescent than those that burrowed, lived in trees, or on land.
    • Based on our results, we think fluorescence is very common in mammals.
