Taxonomically diverse marine, freshwater and terrestrial organisms have evolved the
capacity to synthesize, accumulate and metabolize a variety of UV-absorbing substances …

▪ Abstract Organisms living in clear, shallow water are exposed to the damaging
wavelengths of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) coincident with the longer wavelengths of …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

Mesophotic coral reefs, currently defined as deep reefs between 30 and 150 m, are linked
physically and biologically to their shallow water counterparts, have the potential to be …

The photostability and photophysical parameters of an aqueous solution of the mycosporine-
like amino acid (MAA) porphyra-334 have been determined. The excited-singlet state …

Coral reef ecosystems are at the crossroads. While significant gaps still exist in our
understanding of how “normal” reefs work, unprecedented changes in coral reef systems …

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

Colonies of Stylophora pistillata maintained for four years in indoor aquaria in the near
absence of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) contained only small amounts (< 5 nmol mg− 1 …

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), maximally absorbed in the wavelength region of 310–
360 nm, are widely distributed in algae, phytoplankton and microorganisms, as a class of …

We tested the hypothesis that there is a relation between phylotypes (phylogenetic types, as
determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and partial sequence …
