Die Existenz glänzender Oberflächen in der Pflanzen- und Tierwelt stellt die Wissenschaft vor ein Rätsel. Denn für eine verlässliche Kommunikation, etwa zwischen Blüte und Bestäuber, sind klare und beständige Signale von Vorteil. Glanz widerspricht diesem Prinzip, da sein Erscheinungsbild stark vom Blickwinkel und den Lichtverhältnissen abhängt und somit veränderlich ist.
