Fluroescent rodent study in FNQ
Research conducted by Linda Reinholdt, James Cook University Cairns.
Research showing fluorescent rats being predated on in natural environments.
Researchers from James Cook University, led by zoologist Linda Reinhold, aimed to find out if wild nocturnal mammals and birds reacted to fluorescent fur any more or less
often than non-fluorescent fur. They used rat pelts supplied by ‘Bugs Alive’, which were found to fluoresce under UV light.
The results showed rats do NOT glow in moonlight (at least not to vertebrate eyes).
See the media release below for further details.
This research was conducted on the Atherton Tablelands in 2021-2022.
This project was funded by the North Queensland Wildlife Trust (Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures), James Cook University College of Science and Engineering and an Australian Government Research Training Scholarship, granted to Linda Reinhold. Rats were sourced from Bugs Alive, Cairns.
