The presence, abundance, composition, and growth of periphyton are controlled or
influenced by 5 broad classes of environmental variation: disturbances, stressors, resources …

The planet is currently going through a period of global climate change, the pace of which is
unprecedented in geological history. Marine phytoplankton contribute approximately 50% of …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

The consumption of pharmaceuticals worldwide coupled with modest removal efficiencies of
sewage treatment plants have resulted in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic …

Since the beginning of life on Earth, cyanobacteria have been exposed to natural ultraviolet-
A radiation (UV-A, 315–400 nm) and ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm), affecting …

This review summarizes current knowledge on ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cellular
and molecular damage in marine ectotherms (invertebrates and fish). UVR impairs sperm …

Ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiation is a global stressor with potentially far‐reaching ecological
impacts. In the first quantitative analysis of the effects of UVB on aquatic organisms, we used …

▪ Abstract Ozone depletion by anthropogenic gases has increased the atmospheric
transmission of solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm). Our understanding of the …

Photo-induced toxicity of petroleum products and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) is
the enhanced toxicity caused by their interaction with ultraviolet radiation and occurs by two …

Aim The emission of chlorofluorocarbon compounds eroded the ozone layer, raising
incident ultraviolet B radiation to levels that affect biota. However, the role of UVB radiation …
