Bioluminescence is most commonly found among marine organisms: 70% of known luminescent species inhabit ocean environments. This trait is remarkably stable and has evolved independently in many marine species over time. Light-emitting marine species, like the Humboldt squid with its flashing light displays, exhibit accelerated diversification compared to non-luminescent relatives. This increased genetic variety among related light-emitting species further underscores bioluminescence’s crucial role in marine biodiversity and evolution.
