Fluorescence and reflected light are emitted by diverse living organisms. The analysis and interpretation of these signals may give information about their physiological state, ways of communication among species and presence of specific chemicals. In this talk I review the state of the art in the research on the fluorescence emitted by plant leaves, fruits, flowers, and avian and discuss its relevance in nature.
