Solar radiation is a vital component of ecosystem function. However, sunlight can also
interact with certain xenobiotic compounds in a phenomenon known as photo-induced …

Patagonia area is located in close proximity to the Antarctic ozone “hole” and thus receives
enhanced ultraviolet B (UV‐B) radiation (280–315 nm) in addition to the normal levels of …

Whatever theory may be advanced to explain diurnal migration, the underlying reactions
involved must be demonstrated conc-sively in the laboratory before the explanation can be …

Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation causes direct cellular damage by breakage of DNA strands
and oxidative stress induction in aquatic organisms. To understand the effect of UV-B …

In this report, we provide a perspective on how zooplankton are able to respond to present
and future levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a threat that has been present throughout …

South American species of the freshwater copepod genus Boeckella are distributed in the
Andean region, which corresponds to southwestern South America below 30° south latitude …

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been demonstrated to have damaging effects on
zooplankton, but little is known about what factors influence UVR tolerance in nature. Here …

This book offers extensive coverage of the most important aspects of UVR effects on all
aquatic (not just freshwater and marine) ecosystems, encompassing UV physics, chemistry …

While many laboratory and field studies show that zooplankton are negatively affected when
exposed to high intensities of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), most studies also indicate that …

We experimentally tested the hypothesis that accumulations of dietary compounds such as
carotenoids or UV‐absorbing mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) protect against natural …
