Moreover, protists that exhibit similar morphological features may have evolved analogous structures because of similar selective pressures—rather than because of recent common ancestry. This phenomenon, called convergent evolution, is one reason why protist classification is so challenging.

Key components involve luciferin, luciferase, ATP, and oxygen. Fireflies use specific light patterns for mating and can manipulate their light by releasing nitric oxide. Marine species utilize bioluminescence for attracting prey and evading predators.
