IntroductionIntroduction
Bioluminescence is utilized by several nocturnal japanese firely species during mate selection, with males and females illuminating equally. Several common signals appear to be used to communicate everything from "male awaiting a mate" to "female here". [1]

Luciferase ReactionLuciferase Reaction
Typically, luciferases produce light through a high energy complex with a luciferin cofactor, and Mg-ATP. While the reaction appears to be similiar across all luciferases, species-variants in the luciferin and luciferase structure, and the exact chemical reaction exist.
