Forests glow under UV light, and deer can see it. The study is the first to unequivocally show how deer use a kind of photoluminescent marking system to communicate with one another. Read Full Article #ForestGlow #DeerCommunication #UVMarkings #Photoluminescent…

✨ New study reveals white-tailed deer use hidden glowing "signposts" for communication. Researchers found that antler rubs, scrapes, and urinated spots on trees and the ground emit light when exposed to UV rays.

🦌 These glowing markers are visible to deer, which are more sensitive to blue and UV light than humans, especially at dawn and dusk. The glow comes from exposed tree bark, scent glands, and urine.

📊 The study analyzed 109 antler rubs, 37 scrapes, and 20 urinated spots in an 800-acre area. The glow was observed to be brighter during the breeding season, possibly due to increased rubbing.

🔬 While the exact message is unknown, researchers theorize these glowing signposts are a form of cryptic communication. Experts caution that the glow may not always have a functional purpose.
