Some Fish Use UV Patterns to Communicate

Observatory – Some Fish Use UV Patterns to Recognize Species – NYTimes.com: “The work provides support for the idea, suggested by others, that the ultraviolet part of the spectrum may serve as a way for some species to communicate secretly, in ways invisible to creatures that cannot see UV.”

Fascinating!

We’ll start covering the electromagnetic spectrum (and colors) after we finish up on sound next week.
